  • YMCA Day

    Published 27/05/16

    The forest federation took part in YMCA day today in order to develop the children’s understanding of our local community needs and the need and emotions of homeless people and how we can help. They raised funds bringing donations and provisions to support vulnerable adults without a home who turn up at the YMCA with nothing and have the opportunity to have their own toothbrush and toothpaste a towels and shower gel in order to start to get back on their feet. The children entered a competition to design their own dream house and there were a large number and variety of entries with some fantastic ideas! The YMCA do an amazing job and the children got a real understanding of the need for this charity and service and were so pleased to take part.  Mrs Gethin commented, “It was a really emotional day, we were overwhelmed with the amount of provisions that the children brought in and how articulate and the level of understanding the children and about this local need, we are very proud of them and hope to continue supporting this very worthwhile, local branch."

Well done to all of the children who took part and to the boys for their achievement.

  • Well Dressing 2016

    Published 02/05/16

    Despite the terrible weather we had a fabulous day at Newborough Well Dressing. The church service to dedicate the wells and crown the May Queen with her Princesses was beautiful led by Rev. Frances and Archdeacon of Stoke, Matthew Parker with readings from Mayor David Lees, dancing by the Morris Men and worship singing around the wells led by Mrs Smith. We also enjoyed 2 lots of wet Maypole Dancing, singing, a King/Queen grass head competition, stalls galore and other events such as a band and dog show! What a special day, thank you to the whole community and well dressing committee for their hard work, to  Mrs Neeson for her fabulous commitment in putting it together with all the community leaders, to Mrs Pendleton and Mrs Elis for the Maypole dancing and singing and to all the staff for their hard work and families for attendance and fun!
