Thank you to KCOM for donating Hull City football tickets for this weekend. The young people and community were over the moon!
 We'd like to give an enormous thank you to Mark from KCOM and our very own Jane for all of their hard work volunteering to help fix up our allotment. They've managed to level it out completely so that we won't all be tripping and cockling over like crazy anymore trying to get to the back end of the garden. And the weather was on their side too - with bright and warm sunshine all day.
Our food poverty campaign was booming with ideas and discussion this week! The young people discussed their knowledge of poverty, how we can improve understanding in the community, free school meals, and reducing food waste. One young person even did research in their own time to create the poster in the third image.
Everything our young people were up to during British Science Week has been lovingly put together in wellbeing packs to give out to our community members. They were all very chuffed and wanted to give a huge thank you to all that helped out as they thought the gifts were amazing. This year's British Science Week theme was connections so we took that in all sorts of directions! Our Parents & Toddler group had a bunch of STEM based activities to keep them busy while the parents made scrapbook photo albums of their time coming to the group and to Network. Our Community groups made self-watering plant pots, brought in their own old baking recipes to share, and baked different cookies from different eras. Our young people wrote letters to the Community members using invisible ink, made DIY chocolate bombs, lavender sleep bags, slime, and coke/mentos volcano. The young people were able to learn about the connection between climate change and Fairtrade during this year's Fairtrade Fortnight. We used a range of resources and activities to help the young people understand what Fairtrade is, why it's important, and how we can help the farmers procure a decent living wage as well as support them through the challenges climate change brings. Hull Truck Theatre were absolutely amazing performing Tortoise and the Hare for our parents and babies group! Everyone loved it, the toddlers were ecstatic and super engaged in the show; and there was even still enough time to have a gab, a snack, and some mindful painting afterwards too. |
