Lots of events coming up! This week we have our penultimate sessions of forest school with Lisa from and embroidery on Thursday morning with Nikki from

And we are excited to announce a new group 🙌 We’re piloting an intro to baking group with the first session on Wednesday 10th June at 5pm. This is aimed at parents who want to learn how to make things for the kids cheaply and without all the ultra processed foods in shop bought stuff! The class is free but we are asking for a donation of £3 pp to cover the cost of ingredients. Under 16s can come but need to be accompanied by an adult. The group will be led by the amazing Gill who has years of experience in teaching people how to bake. Booking essential, please use the qr code on the poster!

🌍 Climate Champions: It’s Our Planet Too 🌍

We’re so excited to announce that people across Merseyside are set to become ‘Climate Champions’ thanks to a landmark £1.2 million grant from The National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund.

We’re proud to be part of a new 5-year partnership project, bringing together 8 organisations across the Liverpool City Region, to collaborate with, engage and empower People With Learning Disabilities around climate change and climate action.

Led by a member-led organisation run by and for people with learning disabilities, the initiative tackles a major gap in the environmental movement: the lack of accessible information, opportunities and inclusion for the learning disability community.

💚 Climate Champions: It’s Our Planet Too will bring people with learning disabilities together to:

🌱 Learn about climate change
🌱 Take part in activities and events
🌱 Build confidence and skills
🌱 Share ideas and experiences
🌱 Develop inclusive public resources 
🌱 Become Climate Champions in their communities

With partners and with support from , this project is about inclusion, empowerment, and making sure everyone has a voice in protecting our planet. 💚🌎💚
