BUSY BEE

Langdon Community has recently transformed its garden creating a new summer house called The Hive.

Members at Langdon Community have been making the most of the fantastic sunshine and enjoying all the new developments that have taken place in the garden, including a new summer house. Members are thrilled to have a dedicated space where they can relax, socialise, and have fun; they have decided to call it THE HIVE in true Manchester fashion.

Having recently opened a stall at Bygone Times, members have taken pride in the entire process, from the initial planning and design stages to the actual setup of the stall. Everyone has contributed their own unique ideas and perspectives to make the stall look great. They have been extremely busy with stock production and have made candles, record clocks, bird houses, and planters.

Here’s what the members have to say about their projects: Dan said: “I find

Bygone Times really interesting; I like to make things that you can sell there. I get to meet people and be sociable.”

‘’I enjoy coming to the Garden because the time goes faster than staying at home. It is good meeting people and have a chat. I have made friends and it is a nice environment. It helps to keep the problems away. What I like the most is to be involved in pricing products for our stall at Bygone Times. I was once involved in creating quizzes and planning activities, too, and I really enjoyed it!’’ added Claudia.

Langdon Community would be grateful for any donations of bric-a-brac that can be sold or upcycled. If

"Studies have shown that interactions with animals increase endorphins, promoting relaxation, pain relief and joy. Pet therapy doesn't just benefit the seriously ill child; parents tell us it brings a sense of calm to the whole house. "This is why we are so keen to launch the service in Manchester."
