Hyndburn's Community-Owned Environmental Charity
Prospects Green Influencers @ St Christophers Eco Club have been making Bird boxes and Bird Feeders and there was some real creative flare on display.
Some of the students decieded to make them as gifts for loved ones.
After the Christmass break the students will be making more to sell to raise funds for a trip to Cornwall next year.
Hopefully they will be on sale in our shop window soon.
PROSPECTS delivered an Autumn Themed Crafting Club at GrOwING WILD Community Alloment, Baxenden during the October half term.
Participants looked at Autumn tree and plant identification signs, made an autumnal bean stew and whittled some mushrooms from hazel and birch wood!
One participant gave the following feedback:
“It was a fantastic day. Everyone seemed to enjoy. My granddaughter and I certainly did. It was educational and good fun.”
Prospects have been awarded funding from the Fun With Food and Friends – Hyndburn HAF Programme. We will be delivering the Woodnook Pioneer programme, six outdoor environmental sessions aimed at getting children aged 8-14 to engage with nature and learn about climate change.
