Hayocks Tenants and Residents Group (HTAR) - Community Garden Project
2024-09-10 • No comments • • Three Towns
The HTAR are a group of volunteers who help promote the interests of residents in the area on matters concerning housing, the environment and the social and communication. We meet up monthly based within Hayocks Community Centre
We are planning revamping our existing garden area at the Hayocks Community Centre, which the HTAR hold the lease for into a safe and welcoming community space. This will include a seating area where hall users, or members of the community can sit and rest or socialise. The space will also include a growing area with raised beds built and installed, where members of the community can come and work together to grow and harvest their own fruit and vegetables. These vegetables can then be taken home by members of the community or be donated to the larder within the community centre or used within the existing cafe within the centre. Our existing outdoor area has ramped access therefore this would be accessible for all members of the community
This would build on community spirit and help towards peoples health and wellbeing such as social isolation and promote healthier eating. We are an area of high deprivation and this would allow members of the public a free space to meet up with friends with no additional costs.
Costs
Raised Planters - £510
Compost - £200
Garden Tools - £150
Plants and seedlings - £75
Water Butt - £65

At our get togethers every second Sunday we do crafts along with providing refreshments for everyone who attends and this is free of charge. We also have a planned activity for everyone to take part in if they wish too, these range from mini pamper treatments, to meditation and even a starter class in hypnosis. we are looking to get some funding to help towards the events that we have planned for the rest of this year these are taking families to pantomime, hold Christmas/Halloween/Family nights with games, food n movies, stocking up our food bank, buying Christmas gifts for families or offering a respite day for parents who need it and all this without the financial burden.
Our Wellbeing Matters - Mayfield Parent Council and Mayfield House Captains
2024-09-20 • No comments • • Three Towns
Vision of Project - Create a Wellbeing Corner and Volunteer Programme of Activities at Lunch time and Afterschool.
We are House Captains of Mayfiled Primary School. We applied to be house captains to lead and support children and young people, to listen to children's views, to work with teachers to help with learning and to encourage volunteering in and outside our school. As school captains, monitors and buddy's we would like the funding to help us grow as leaders. - (House Captain Application and video link to see our ideas)
Project 1 - Volunteer Programme to support Lunch Time and Afterschool Activities (Theme - Health & Wellbeing, Building Community Spirit and Cost of Living).
Our school does not have any lunch time or afterschool clubs. We want to lead on lunch time and afterschool activities and with the help of our teachers and parent council who can help by volunteering their time and help us bring in funding for resources. We would like money from PB to purchase 2 new adjustable basketball stands so the big and wee ones can play. We asked our houses what we needed and went a walk around our school playground. We only have 1 basketball net and its older than Mr Faulds so the JANNIE SAID. We did our research and found these for 249.99 each and we need 2.
Project 2 - Our Wellbeing Corner (Theme - Health & Wellbeing, Community Spirit, Cost of Living and Green Projects)
Part of our walk around we noticed that there is not anywhere for young people to sit together outdoors. We would like to turn a corner of our playground into a wellbeing corner. We would like money for picnic benches and planters. We called a local men's shed. They said if we got the PB money they would make them for us and would only charge us for the wood - We thought this was an absolute BARGAIN!!! The space we looked at you can see the fields behind us and the cows - we thought this area would make the ideal spot. We as Mayfields House Captains want to introduce FUN, FRIENDLY FRIDAYS where pupils will give at least 1 comliment to someone during our lunch time activity. We would also like to use the space when we are volunteering as buddy's and mentors as this is an ideal space to put our planters and we can help the wee people grow vegetable and their confidence. This space would allow us as House Captains to develop our leadership skills using a space that is not used and hopefully recruit more wellbeing wizzards as part of our fun and friendly Friday's.
Basketball Stands 249.99 x 2 = 499.98
3 x Picnic Benches 2 x Planters = 580
Total = 1039.98 (We planning on fundraising for the rest if successful)
