Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Melanie Young (she/her)
Educating the Youth is a key part of GoodGym inclusion so when NONE of the other GGers has even heard of the most excellent title of last night’s Eats, “All the People on the Left, wap bam boogie” it was time for some Spotify magic.
Lauren may have been the newest GGer at six o’clock but she was soon overtaken by "Spotify Oscar" a few minutes later. Jason, who’d returned for a second seed, was now considered an old hand an Ella, on 6 good deeds, an experienced GGer.
Lots of dancing with trowels and forks (OK, maybe weeding in time to the music) and we’d soon perfected the three lyrics that are repeated really quite a lot as well as prepped Ella’s big beds, planted onions and chard and cleaned up the Roundhouse.
A fab GG evening, discussing the merits of the Civil Service and Council employment and reassuring Melanie that no one present had been born after the year 2000, was topped off with fabulous brownies to celebrate Matt B's 50th good deed. Fun times, let’s do it again soon*!
*Same place, same time next week 😁
Urban Escape is based at the roundhouse and acre growing space at Springfield Allotments in Knowle and aims to reconnect young people and adults with nature, create lasting relationships and supporting local people on their journey through life. The project utilises a wide variety of outdoor activities, life skills and group work as the tool to engage the groups and build relationships. Hands on and creative activities throughout the year include bush craft, growing, foraging and cooking fresh food, natural arts and crafts, community engagement and social action projects. The Junior, Senior and Adult groups take ownership of their projects by choosing activities and trips at different points through the year. All three groups have a maximum of 10 young people/adults at any one time because of the tools and activities used for the sessions. http://www.youthmoves.org.uk/urban-escape
