A huge thank you to everyone who came along and took part, especially everyone who had their blood pressure checked. We’ll be in touch soon to check in with you📱

We’re incredibly grateful to all the brilliant local groups who joined us and helped make the event what it was.

Also, a HUGE shout-out to the young entrepreneurs of Newton Heath!

We’d love for this to be the first of many Well-Rooted events — bringing together health, support, community groups, young entrepreneurs, local businesses and stalls 👥

🦇🌙 WE’RE BRINGING BAT WALKS TO NEWTON HEATH! 🌙🦇

We are absolutely buzzing to share that Our Parents Made Us Do It Youth Group has been awarded £1,000 to bring their After Dark project to life! 🎉

After Dark will give local residents and families the chance to come together for Newton Heath’s very own bat walks. 🦇 We’ll head out after sunset, learn about the amazing bats that live in our area and use bat monitors to listen out for them as they fly around. 🎧🌙

We didn’t get the most votes, so we honestly thought that might be the end of it… but Mobysoft and the MCC Housing Services team saw the vision behind After Dark and decided to support OPMUDI anyway.

A massive thank you to them for believing in our young people, our community and the ideas that come directly from local residents. ❤️

This is what community is all about — people seeing the passion behind an idea and helping make it happen.

We can’t wait to explore the wildlife on our doorstep and create some amazing memories together. 🌿🦇

Newton Heath… get ready for After Dark! 🌙

🌿 Our last Younglings Nature Club before the summer holidays was on 22nd July 🏖

We made nature crafts, including our own petal paper, and decorated picture frames using things from the garden.

We'll be back in September for more outdoor fun. And yes... we've already had a request for another water fight! We should probably just call it Water Fight Club from now on. 💦😂

Keep an eye out for dates and activities 👀

Everyone's welcome, and it's all free. 💚
