A huge thank you to the residents who planned, set up, and delivered the first Friendly Thursday-a new resident led group that will meet every week to help you, connect, learn and achieve.
13 local residents attended and by the end of the session two had learned how to crochet, two had learned how to set up and use the sewing machines and everyone
completed something!
We had crochet keyrings, aprons, shopping bags and even a decorative panel to repair a favourite bag. Upcycling and recycling is important and fun!
Today I learnt how to crochet and I am so happy
The group have decided to create affordable gifts from pre-loved items to sell at the
upcoming Lockleaze Climate and Nature Festival.
The funds raised will help the group to purchase any new equipment or tools.
I met new people and we made keyrings together – it was relaxing
We also have sociable games and you are welcome to pop along for a cuppa and chat and practice and share your language skills too.
I enjoyed meeting new people and sharing the space to create
If you have a skill to share, would like to learn something new or want the opportunity to meet more of your neighbours please do come along, every Thursday 1-3pm.
All are welcome. Free to attend. No booking required.
The venue is accessible and accompanied children are welcome.
