Lots to fill you in on this week...

🏆 Firstly, huge congratulations to Joshua for winning the Hannah Hogan Award for Kindness this month!

✅ We've introduced a stamp chart at Pulp & Prints, for Members to track their training progress, encouraging them to also try new things!

👩‍🍳 This week the team branded some takeaway boxes, made a delicious curry, a warming chilli, decorated our famous school cake and baked up some apple muffins & choc chip cookies!

🌿 Albert & Elliot were supported by Gary to join the Woodwork Course at Bulwell Forest Garden where they built a fantastic herb box.

📝 Over at Bestwood, Owen introduced the theme for the week: Stock Taking!
Where we looked at marketing, advertising and stock control. We also squeezed in an Exercise and Movement workshop with Thrive and a litter pick!

🍄 At Urban Worm we met James from Rigsby’s Seasonal Foods and learnt all about foraging! It was a fascinating session.

💐 We had lovely feedback from Trent Vineyard for the flowers arrangements we donate to their grief cafe, and Dan won a Christmas card design competition for Fernwood School and won a prize!

🥊 And we've been very busy over the weekend - our Nordic Walking group has a great time out and about, Adam and Angela ran the catering shed at Saturday's Dig-In Community Allotment event and a group of us supported Regan at the Red Knights Martial Arts Kickboxathon fundraiser, Anji even gave it a try!

🌉 Today we've been at the Transport Nottingham Waterside Bridge event creating smoothies on one bike and charging phones on the other! And Lucy & Julie are representing Pulp Friction at Southwell Minster's service celebrating the King's birthday!

What a week😴
..p.s, not long until our Summertime Ball now 🥳

We simply had to share this wonderful piece of art!

One of our Members, Claire, celebrated the fact they joined Pulp Friction 16 years ago today with this fantastic collection of drawings.

We think it's a brilliant way to capture some fun memories 💚

Thank you for sharing Claire, and thank you for all your hard work through the years!🎈

We're also looking forward to Red Knights Martial Arts' Summer Fun Day on Saturday!

It's free to attend, and with lots of games and prizes to be won, as well as a 12-hour Kickboxathon, there will be plenty to keep you entertained!

We'll be there to cheer on our very own martial arts master, Regan!

A huge thank you to everyone who took time out of their weekend to join our team away day yesterday!

💚 It's always a great session - hearing directly from our Members, and their parents and carers, about what's working well and what we could look to improve. We really value your opinions and ideas, thank you!

👏 We also got to celebrate the volunteers who joined us yesterday to round off Volunteers' Week, with handmade cards and gifts from our Members.

🍰 Over the rest of the week, Members were very busy preparing lunches and drinks at Pulp&Prints to celebrate Footprints Conductive Education Centre's volunteers, as well as delicious tray bakes we tucked into yesterday!

😁 Tom did a brilliant job welcoming visitors for Footprints' Empowerment event and we welcomed our newest Member, Andrew, to the team! We can already tell he's going to be an excellent chef!

👮‍♀️ At Bestwood we've been discussing the police, with a couple of brilliant visits from PC Zoe and Leila. They helped us understand more about trusted adults, consent and what to do if we are worried.

👩‍⚖️ We also did some work on the law and court system, where our very own judge Clare was very kind to Daisy Goldilocks who was found not guilty by the jury!

🥗 We had lots of buffets to cater for at JHQ, meanwhile Albert and Will made a delicious fruit salad at Bestwood, and we had our usual fun at The Urban Worm CIC making kudashi bins!

Happy birthday Michelle 🥳
