Newsham Matters
Community Development
We need to buy gardening tools and equipment including a portable generator and a secure shed.
About this cause
We are a group of Newsham residents who got together to improve the quality of life for local people through providing activities using the down time of three community venues, St Bedes Church Hall, NEwsham Pavilion and Yahweh Hall. We are helping with I.T drop in sessions including free wifi and help with Universal Credit applications. Art and Craft club which brings together people of all ages including lonely, isolated, disadvantaged and people with learning difficulties, and at the end of the session provide a nutritional 2 course meal. Community Allotment which is bringing people together to grow their own fruit and veg and encourage a healthy lifestyle volunteers are all age groups including people with disabilities and learning difficulties, helping people make a difference.
How this cause brings people in the community together
It will enable the residents, lonely, disadvantaged and those with disabilities to become part of a community again. Helping those with less abilities to learn and develope themselves and feel worthwhile and not isolated.
