📣 GAMESLEY — YOUR VOICE MATTERS! 💚💗

We’re holding our next Gamesley Neighbourhood Meeting tomorrow evening, and we’d really like local residents to come along and have their say.

📅 Wednesday 30th September
⏰ 6:00pm – 7:30pm
📍 Gamesley Community Centre

This meeting is about you and your neighbourhood.

We’ll have partner organisations joining us, but most importantly, we want to hear from Gamesley residents:

💬 What support would make a difference to you or your family?
🎨 What activities would you like to see locally?
👧 What would you like to see for children and young people?
❤️ What could improve health and wellbeing?
🏘️ What would make Gamesley an even better place to live?
💡 Got an idea? Come and tell us!

You don’t need to be part of a group or organisation. Just come along, have a brew, join the conversation and share your thoughts.

The people who live here know Gamesley best — so help us shape what happens next.

💚💗 Working together for a stronger, healthier, happier Gamesley.

Please share this post and tag someone who should have their say! 📣

🌿 LOOK WHAT WE’VE CREATED AT GAMESLEY ROMAN GARDENS! 🌿

🩷Officially opening on 26th September🩷

Over the last few days, something rather special has been taking shape at Gamesley Roman Gardens – our beautiful new Mindful Garden. 💚

A huge thank you has to go to the wonderful Dan Steel, who not only kindly donated the plants from his RHS show garden, but then gave up his own time to come along and help us transform the space. Dan Steel was joined by his partner James, and together with local people they have helped create a garden that we hope will be enjoyed by our whole community. 🌸🌾🌿

A massive thank you also to Helen and Mat from The Bureau, Helen, Caitlin and Ant from and Gamesley Community Group, Clare from Friends of Whitfield Rec and Green Spaces , and all the community members who rolled up their sleeves, dug, planted, shifted soil and helped bring the garden to life. ❤️

Just look at the difference! We hope you’ll agree that it already looks absolutely wonderful. And as the planting establishes and grows, it should become an even more beautiful, peaceful space where people can sit, slow down, enjoy nature and take a little time out.

🌱 CAN YOU HELP US FINISH IT?

We’d now love to add the final touches. We are looking for donations of:

🪑 A strong outdoor bench – somewhere to sit, rest and enjoy the garden
🪞 An outdoor/garden mirror – to add interest, light and a sensory element
🌸 Extra plants – particularly suitable plants to fill our wooden planters

If you, a local business or organisation could donate any of these items, we would be incredibly grateful.

This is what community is all about – people giving their time, skills, plants and enthusiasm to create something beautiful for everyone.

💚 A garden created by the community, for the community.

Please message us if you can help – and in the meantime, come and have a look at what everyone has achieved! [email protected]

Thank you Dan, James and every single person who helped. 🌿💚

🌿💚 COME AND HELP US MAKE GAMESLEY BLOOM! 💚🌿

This Saturday at 10am, FROGS – Friends & Residents of Gamesley – will be getting stuck into planting our new Mindful Garden at the Roman Gardens… and we’d love you to join us! 🌸🌱

You don’t need to be a gardener.
You don’t need any experience.
You don’t even need to know a daisy from a dandelion! 😄

All you need is a little enthusiasm and a desire to make Gamesley an even better place to live. ❤️

The plants for this beautiful new garden have been kindly donated by Dan from his show garden at the Sandringham RHS Show. Now we have the opportunity to bring them to life here in Gamesley and create something that our whole community can enjoy and be proud of.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Everyone is welcome – all ages and abilities.
🌱 Come for the whole session or just lend a hand for a little while.
☕ Have a brew, meet people and get involved.
💚 Help us create something positive for Gamesley.

Community pride starts with people deciding to get involved – even if it’s just for an hour.

📍 Roman Gardens, Gamesley
📅 Saturday
⏰ 10am

🌸 OUR COMMUNITY. OUR GARDEN. OUR PRIDE. 🌸

Come along, bring your enthusiasm and let’s make Gamesley bloom together! 🌱💚

Please SHARE and tag someone you’d like to bring along!

BE PART OF CREATING LEGACY!

Good morning all! Hope you have had a good summer and you have in one way or another managed to make the most of the good weather.

As the weather is on the change (hopefully only temporarily) I wanted to give you a heads-up, Saturday after next (5th) will be the FROGS litter pick, also going on will be the first of our gardening days at the Roman Gardens.

The litter pick will be on the same time as normal, the work in the Roman Gardens we have yet to confirm - but will likely be in the morning. If you are able to come along (for as long as works for you) and help out with this it would be great - many hands make light work! Just let me know

Thanks to the band of litter pickers (those in the pic and those that 'escaped')! You are making a huge difference. Thank you! It's also nice having a TWIG brew afterwards 🙂
