Yesterday was meant to be such a lovely day for the grand opening at Scotland Hall Road Park, but unfortunately it turned into something none of us expected.

Three large, aggressive dogs got into the park and things got really scary.

Four people were attacked, including two children, as well as three little Frenchies.

Thankfully, the police arrived and dealt with one of the dogs, with further investigations into the other two.

We'll be asking for updates on this and hopefully be able to keep people informed.

To everyone who got the kids safely out of the park and into the Stirling Centre, and every person who stepped up when it mattered — thank you. ❤️

Seeing parents checking on other people's children and making sure everyone was okay really showed what community is all about, and it makes us proud to live in Newton Heath.

We're going to speak to Parks and Manchester City Council to see if we can put on a really special day for the kids.

Something fun, something positive and something that gives them a happier memory of the park.

If we can't get it sorted through them, we'll find a way to do it ourselves.

The kids deserve a good day after yesterday. 💚

Our thoughts are with everyone affected.

Please look after yourselves and each other. ❤️

Younglings Nature Club had some very special visitors today! 🐸🐍🕷️

Chris from ZooLab came along with his fascinating friends, and the children got the chance to meet some amazing animals up close while learning all about them — where they live, what they eat and some other really cool facts.

There were plenty of curious faces, lots of questions and a few “no’s” along the way! But everyone gave it a go, and by the end they absolutely loved it. ❤️

Not that there was a favourite, but the huge “awwwww” when Chase the gerbil came out was definitely a bit of a giveaway! 😂🐹

A huge thank you to Chris for such a brilliant session. We’d 110% recommend Zoolab and we’re already hoping to get them back out nearer Christmas time!

And just like that, we’re coming to the end of the Duncan Edwards Court Food Insecurity Project! 🌱

We’ve got four more gazebo planters to get planted up with climbing veg and then that’s us!

Well… not quite... 😉

Because Phase Two is already on the cards!

Next up, we’ll be helping the residents get their community garden back up and thriving, with the big GOAL of entering RHS Britain in Bloom next year. 🌸

From growing food to growing a proper community garden — there’s plenty more to come.

Dare we start a footie war…? 👀😂

Great OPMUDI session tonight! 💚

After months of deliberations, they’ve finally got a plan, and it was brilliant hearing all about the next steps and how they’re going to make it happen. 🙌

Giving young people the voices they so rightly deserve is genuinely exhilarating and hopeful. Seeing their ideas come together and watching them take ownership of what happens next is exactly why we do what we do. ✨🥹

As the next session falls during half term, we’re heading to Manchester Museum to visit their Human Natures exhibition and gather some inspiration and ideas for how they can present and share their work. 💡

Exciting times ahead! Keep watching this space… 👀

It’s a big day for the park on Thursday, with the brand new playground officially reopening at 4pm! 🛝

We’ll be down there beforehand for a community litter pick and could do with a few extra pairs of hands! So come along from 11am and help us give the park a good tidy-up. 🗑️

We’ll also be chatting and gathering ideas for how we can make the orchard area more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. 🍎🌳

📍 Scotland Hall Road Park, M40 2RJ
