Groundbreaking newsflash

Fledgling new community builders project arrives at a small village near Romsey.

Jacqueline Rolls our outreach worker in Test Valley has just revealed that she has been responsible for an “ideas meeting with enthusiastic parents and the headteacher at Awbridge Primary School” .

Jacqueline now reveals how this came about” I contacted Awbridge Primary School back in the spring of this year to ask if the Community Builders Project could assist them in any way, Dr Barnes the headteacher at the school said that he was keen to look at ways to improve the wild grounds area in the school and would love to extend the activity to involve the local community."

With that in mind we started thinking about how we might include people and came up with the idea of holding a ideas meeting, we then sent a letter out to families who attended the school to invite parents aunties, uncles , grandparents and interested parties to come forward with some suggestions of what they would like to see happen. Followed by our 1st meeting on the 24th April.

A small but enthusiastic group of parents have now been sharing ideas and emails have been flying through along the electronic highways..

"We have now collated everybody thoughts and have sent a letter out to all of the families in the school to update them and ask if they would like to contribute in some way.

We will be meeting for the second time today and my next update will let you know how this went"

bye for now from Jacquie C B outreach worker in Test Valley
