SOCIAL ACTION PROJECT

Thanks to funding received from the Walney Trust the young people of KEY are working with Croftside Nursing Home to create a colourful, cheerful garden space for their residents . . . but they need your help. They are building accessible planters; planting plants donated by the Flower Cottage and Woodland Nursery; painting benches in rainbow colours and coving to make moving around safer for those with reduced visibility; creating a wildlife area and lots more.

Refreshments provided, do come dressed for garden /painting etc. and if possible bring your own gloves we do have a few available if needed.

Please get in touch with Emma if you would like more information: 07960451542 or emmabankskey@yahoo.co.uk

Milnthorpe Festival of Light

The event was hugely successful with over 20 entries in total!

The young people’s creativity and hard work was evident and the standard was extremely high. Great fun was had by all who entered their amazing pumpkin carvings.

The young people also took part in a glow-stick poi workshop, learning new skills and wowing the crowd with their light show.

It was fantastic to see so many people attend the event and an excellent opportunity for community engagement – embraced by the community of Milnthorpe and the surrounding areas!

An enormous thank you to:

St Thomas’, for allowing us to use their church/grounds and for being so welcoming!

Our Judges: Brian from St Thomas’, Rachel from Plato’s Girl and Lewis, one of our youth group organisers.

Plato’s Girl, Spar, Flames, Booths, Waffle Mania and KEY for donating the fab prizes – allowing all who entered to received a prize!

Our KEY young people for all their hard work in making this happen and for their light show!

We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! Here’s to the next one in 2022!

Milnthorpe Youth Café Residential

The residential took place at Rookhow in Rusland and the young people’s chosen theme was stress management – time out especially from the digital world.

Lots of fun was had – mindfulness, listening to the howling monkeys and much more! Great food cooked by themselves, star gazing, a trip to South Lakes Safari Zoo – free to our young people – with giraffe feeding, and so much more!!!

Thank you to Councillor Pete McSweeney, Sue and the trustees at Rookhow, South Lakes Safari Zoo and our trustees for supporting the young people to put their plans into action!
