It's really sad that we've had little uptake from young people for a our garden help scheme this year. We do have some young people signed up but this will probably be our last year running this scheme, to be honest it's exhausting trying to push this scheme and to also find funding each year for it to continue.

It's not helped by the lack of uptake from the general public, our pleas to actually help anyone has proved fruitless. It seems no one in Ludlow needs any help!!! This community based intergenerational project has had a good run for many years but there seems to be so much apathy that keeping it going is unviable., and an as we are such a small charity it puts a huge strain on our time and resources. if you do know anyone who would like to take part or have some work done please contact us asap. Best to email [email protected] as we don't have much time to keep checking social media.

For some reason we haven't had many volunteers signing up for this scheme this Summer. Weird because this who do get involved really enjoy it and make a big impact.

If your child is aged 12+ and likes to get involved in practical tasks, and helping genuine peopole in need please sign them up!

2 years and 4 projects later we have finally come to the end of the South Shropshire Stories project. The SSS project was about young people getting to explore special places around South Shropshire and meet people who would tell them stories or about the history of these places. Young people would then interpret that information into media content.

It's been quite a challenge battling the weather and getting this project finalised but there are some amazing pieces of work that young people have come up with focusing on some fantastic locations in South Shropshire including Westhope, The Long Mynd, Mahorall farm and the Novers woodland. We've met some amazing people who have shared their knowledge and their experiences about life in South Shropshire.

We are inviting you to a celebration event at Mahorall Farm, located between Clee Hill and Tenbury on Saturday 6th June - come and meet the young people involved in the project, watch their films and join us for tea and cake! Whether you were involved or not its a great showcase to show some examples of some of the work we do, and we are hoping to inspire others to get involved in similar activities.

Booking link in comments below, the event itself is free but we'd like to know numbers

The Rivers Trust came to our Craven Arms youth session last night. Young people got to chat and learn about the Onny and took some samples to see how high the levels of phosphate and nitrates were in the river. We are hoping to do more sessions involving the river including getting young people to help us do monthly water quality checks.
