🌿 What a fantastic 12 weeks! 🐝🦋🌼

We’ve reached the end of our 12-week wildlife project, led by Lancashire Wildlife Trust, and what a success it has been!

Over the past few months, we’ve worked together to create a number of new wildlife habitats dotted between St Mark’s Community Garden and The Walled Garden. These spaces have been designed to welcome and support a wide variety of wildlife — from pollinators such as butterflies, moths and bees, to birds, bats and small mammals.

It’s been brilliant to see what can be achieved when local organisations and the community come together, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped make the project happen.

A huge thank you to:

🌱 Riverside Housing — for organising the project and making the land available.

🌻 Childwall EMB — for the use of The Walled Garden for our workshops and for joining us each week to support the project.

🦋 Lancashire Wildlife Trust — for leading, planning and guiding us throughout the 12 weeks.

💚 And finally, a massive thank you to everyone from the local community who came along, volunteered their time, shared their skills and got stuck in. The project simply wouldn’t have happened without you!

There’s still plenty more to do, and if you’d like to find out more or get involved in future green projects in the area, get in touch or pop into St Mark’s for a brew on Monday mornings, 9am–12pm. ☕🌿

Thank you all — here’s to giving local wildlife a little more room to thrive! 🐝🦋🐦

🎒👕 SECOND CHANCE SCHOOL UNIFORMS 👕🎒

Need school uniform? Before buying new, why not give second chance school uniforms a try?

At St Mark’s Community Garden, we have a selection of good-quality, pre-loved school uniform available to browse every Monday, 9am–12 noon.

💚 Everything is completely FREE.

It’s not just about helping families save money. Choosing pre-loved, good-as-new uniform also means giving perfectly usable clothing another life instead of buying new.

Every new item of clothing comes with a manufacturing footprint — from raw materials and production to transport. By choosing to reuse before buying new, we can all take small steps towards reducing our own carbon footprint and cutting down on waste. 🌍♻️

So if you’re looking for school uniform, come and have a browse before heading to the shops. You might find exactly what you need — and it won’t cost you a penny!

📍 St Mark’s Community Garden
🗓️ Mondays
⏰ 9am–12 noon
💷 All items FREE

And if you have good-quality school uniform your children have grown out of, we’re always happy to give it another chance too. We currently have good stock of Belle Vale Community Primary School and Our Lady of the Assumption Primary School but would love to take any school uniform from the Belle Vale Ward area 💚
