For a simple weeding task, this community mission was unusually momentous! First up, Laura logged her 100th good deed and the centurion costume made its first appearance since the pandemic started. Second up, Alison joined us from Bath to celebrate her birthday with some biscuits that were kindly rustled up by Urban Escape. Third up, Caroline from Sheffield came back for a visit. And lastly, we were all treated to gorgeous sunset. It may also have been Mel’s first GG task as Area Activator.
And we did make some progress on weeding that path.

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
