Youth Voice group – Thank you!

Elle Marshall
We would like to say a huge thank you to our Youth Voice group who decided in one of their meetings that a local litter pick would be really beneficial in their community!
Last night we spent an hour out with our litter pickers and bin bags collecting rubbish from Meadow Lane, Cherry Road, including the park, Heather Close, Sandbrook Road (up to the shop), Brookdale and the entrance to the woodlands at Brookdale too.
They worked so hard and we are so grateful for all their work in the community!!

After their litter pick they came back to the centre and painted pebbles to go in the community herb garden! What a fantastic and generous way to give up their time 🥰 Thank you to everyone who contributed, you should be really proud!

Soul Refreshing – Chocolate Whirled

Sarah Proctor

We have been really lucky to have the support of Living Well Sefton with our project Soul Refreshing this year. We are taking groups of our older members out on trips and this week we went to Chocolate Whirled who were once again, absolutely incredible!
We are so grateful for how they are able to accommodate our groups and the sessions they provide are amazing. This week we made Easter egg shaped chocolate bars and printed chocolate lollipops. This was followed by the opportunity for our group to have a hot drink and a piece of cake and a really good chat 😊🍫

Totem Pole Project

Sarah Proctor

We have been working with Natural England in the Ainsdale Pinewoods for a few months now after adopting the Buzzard on the Totem Pole that they have had carved 😀
We were really lucky to have been asked to help paint our section and our group have done an incredible job with the support of Natural England staff and our youth team!
Last night we went to help finish painting our section and then we were given a guided tour of the pinewoods learning about birds and other creatures and finished with a moment of relaxation listening to the sounds of nature 🌳🌿🪺🐾🦆
We can’t wait for our next Totem Pole session 😁🙌
