Wellbeing Wednesday Group made a beautiful land art mandala today at the foot of a lovely big horse chesnut tree, using flowers from our basecamp garden and other autumnal materials gathered in the wood - inspired by the work of artists such as Winston Plowes and Andy Goldsworthy. We have wellbeing sessions every wednesday 10am-12 noon at our Thornes Park Basecamp with plenty of spots available if you would like to join us - send a message to book a place or arrange a chat in advance

What a brilliant morning with the Mindful Movers crew, we were lucky to have Jen Watson- Yorkshire Artist back working with us on some individual mosiac pieces for our garden art walk (thanks to Creative Minds for the funding) can’t wait to see all the pieces finished and grouted ready to be installed. 😍

What a lovely walk and talk this morning with the Mindful Movers team at Thornes Park. Although the weather was a bit blustery we walked through to our Basecamp, collected apples, had a hot drink and some wonderful conversations and idea generation before heading back to the stadium meeting point. Great to see the hard work in the raised beds paying off with lush produce growing well.
Back next Friday 10-11am if anyone want to join us 😊

Our Basecamp garden site is blooming, sunflowers, tomatoes and lots of other plants nurtured and cared for by our volunteer team are thriving even through the drought. So lovely to see the space coming together and what the dedication of the team can achieve 😍

Being a charity director brings a wide variety of tasks, keeping in touch with the front line delivery alongside the strategic work behind the scenes.
From facilitating a glorious Birds and Bees crafts session with the Mindful Movers and Mini Movers, occasionally leading the walk and talk and today’s volunteering down at our Basecamp site pulling weeds and tackling thistles whilst singing my head off (luckily for everyone I was the only person on site 😂) Not perfect but better than it was 👍🏻

A wonderful event as part of a photography walk series for women and girls led by local organisation Blossom. Definitely one to check out 😍

The joys of our Basecamp garden is the abundance of wild fruits on the site. These wild plums, cherry plums and blackberries were ripe and falling to waste on the floor. Time to grab a haul and make some delicious plum and blackberry jam 😋 Can’t let this fruit go to waste so will be back to collect more and preserve. Nature connection is a large part of our work and Mother Nature is providing so much for us at this time of year. Working with the seasons and making our own, going back to heritage culinary activities beats shop bought jam any day of the week.
