 We've been busy in both youth and community sessions the last few weeks, starting on a display inspired by the Fishing History in the Hessle Road area; braiding and threading scrap material and wool to create an abstract scene of the docks. We were also grateful to be able to take our community group to the local Fishing History Centre to see and hear the stories of the families and fisherman from times past. We can't wait to see it finished and displayed, everyone has been working hard and have been happy to get involved.

Thank you to McCains for their generous donation of pumpkins, cucumbers and more! We're going to have a blast with the community members and volunteers as we grow and cook it all just like last year.
 We've been talking to the young people about Pride Month and LGBTQ+ identities, answering questions and breaking down myths.
The girls planned their own PJ Party as a treat for their continued good behaviour; with milkshakes, a water fight, face painting, DJing, making slime, and more, the girls had a great time! We are thrilled to announce that by working alongside service users from across our project we have developed an exciting new project called Hull’s Hidden Heroes which has been made possible with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. We’ve been awarded a grant of £165,340 to support local people to explore the rich history and heritage of our area and thanks to National Lottery Players residents will spend the next 2 years learning more about some of the people and places that have positively impacted on and shaped our community. As part of this project residents will be supported to create a map and website content that will document the vibrant history and heritage of Hull and will include the videos, art works and photographs that local people produce as a result of their research. If you’re interested in finding out more about the project and how you can get involved, please contact Kirsty, Rachael or Jo at [email protected] or call us on 01482 606077. #NationalLottery #HeritageFund  For the last two weeks we've been speaking to the young people about International Women's Day ; discussing women we find inspiring and their admirable qualities, writing letters to their future selves with their hopes and goals for the year, and discussing why we have an International Women's Day, the history of it, and why we celebrate it.  A job very well done by our campaigners! We cleaned up the surrounding area of HRN and cemi park yesterday, even in the rainy weather We're so chuffed with the work they're putting in, they've already planned to have another go during the next half term. We'd like to give a huge thank you to Huttons & Co - Ship Chandlers Ltd for their donation yesterday of milk and butter The parents group were delighted by it and said it'll be perfect for the kids' cereal (they go through it like crazy) while they're off this week! We've been able to provide over 40 tickets to our community members to go see the fantastic Oliver Twist at Hull Truck Theatre over the Christmas period - and with free ice cream during the interval!
A huge thank you to our director and volunteer, David, for helping out with the Grotto as always! The kids look forward to visiting Santa and this year was no different. A huge thank you to our volunteer, Ashleigh, for helping us set it all up and our young volunteers helping us on the day. It was a great way to wrap up the Christmas celebrations before we closed until New Year.  |
