Report written by Ellie (She/her)
On a chilly November evening we set off walking to delivery Monty's Christmas cards to local residents. These not only helped to spread some festive cheer but also shared information about the hub and all the sessions and groups local people can get involved in. We were very efficient completing our first load of deliveries within 30 minutes which meant we had time to go back for some more. It was lovely to get a good walk and talk in while spotting some of the fabulous Christmas light displays in the area too. We hope to join Monty's again soon to help out with some more tasks in the area.
Monty’s is a creative community hub in the heart of our neighbourhood in Sholing / Thornhill. You can find our building amongst a row of shops on Montague Avenue, but Monty’s is more than just a building – it’s a community. Monty’s is a collaborative community space, where local people offer their skills, time and energy to creatively address local needs and develop local solutions. Together we host groups and activities for children, young people, adults, and families – a place for the whole community to meet up, make friends, learn and share skills, support one another and share life. Monty’s is a registered charity run mainly by volunteers. We believe everyone has something to offer or contribute, so if you’re interested in volunteering, taking part or helping out, we’d love to hear from you.
