St Pauls Adventure Playground
As a hectic Summer programme at the Ventures ended with a FUN-draiser which attracted dozens of families, we look forward to an exciting Autumn and Winter programme of activities and events. We are planning to have a few more similar events over the coming months, as feedback from families suggested it was great fun for young people and adults alike.
After much delay, we are in the final stages of installing the huge ‘corkscrew’ slide which will drop 7 metres from the treehouse – this is bound to be a major attraction, we will be taking measures to manage demand so that everyone can enjoy the slide safely. Thanks to construction company Willmott Dixon for their pro-bono support in making this happen.
Working in partnership with the creative geniuses at Lamplighter Arts CIC, we will be offering young people the opportunity to design and make lanterns and costumes for the spooky, spectacular ‘Bump in the Night’ lantern parade which will take place at 5.00pm on Sunday 30th October, and which will wend its way through Broadmead and the Old City. We also are starting to run a social action project which will involve young people in activities such as campaigning, fundraising and volunteering, all of which enable young people to make a positive difference in their communities as well as develop their own skills and knowledge. The project is funded by the Sovereign #iwill Fund and is made possible thanks to £66 million joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to support young people to access high quality social action opportunities.
