I'm delighted at the response I am getting from all kinds of people who want to help us get the word out. Maybe it is because our project is very wide reaching. This is what we wrote in our application form for the Lottery....
"By improving this green space we will improve the lives of hundreds of people living in our neighbourhood. We know many people would like to use the space more and we know why they are reluctant to go there right now (not enough play equipment, too many dogs, too muddy, boring etc etc). This project will help us create a place that all kinds of people, old and young, will want to spend time in.
Young people will benefit from having a more stimulating place to play and a safe place to meet their friends. Parents and carers will be able to go along and relax, stroll, and spend leisure time in the same place as their children.
Older people will benefit from strolling in the fresh air in a pleasant environment. This will improve their physical health. Having more opportunity to spend time with family or friends in a high quality environment will help reduce isolation for lots of people and may even keep them mentally healthy.
Thought for the Day - Is there life beyond 30th June?
I can only see four days ahead at the moment and as the pace hots up it is more exhausting than satisfying - but I guess we will be relaxed, one way or another, by Thursday evening.
