On Friday 25th July 2025 the Hyndburn’s Woodlands Project hosted a stall at one of this year’s ‘Let’s Move Hyndburn’ events! This time we were at Mercer Park, Rishton Road, Clayton-le-moors, Accrington, BB5 5PN.
The Let’s Move scheme creates events aimed at encouraging residents of all ages to participant in outdoor activities, connect with the community, and celebrate local green spaces.
This year we hosted a wood cookie decorating event, where participants could create naturally themed artwork on wood cookies. Participants would then use hand drills to create holes through their cookies, which could then be strung with cotton yarn to be made into necklaces! We had lots of visitors at our stall and almost everyone made necklaces which added to the festivities around the park!
We also got the chance to talk to a lot of residents about the work we do at The PROSPECTS Foundation, encourage people to visit our eco-friendly refill store, and informing people about some of the wonderful green spaces we have in Hyndburn.
Thank you to Hyndburn Borough Council for inviting us to come along, it was a lovely day and we really enjoyed ourselves!
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible.
