28 Jun Weekend Plans for You and Your Community
It’s hard to believe June is coming to an end already! We’ve just past the point of the summer solstice and the longest day of the year – does your community do anything fun to celebrate the solstice? We’d love to hear what you got up to if you do!
Our Community Activity Challenge is under full swing for summer 2021 and we have lots of other lovely projects coming up over the next few months. If your neighbourhood is up to anything interesting, pop us a message and let us know!
The Community Time Machine Mini documentary
RTÉ Lyric FM – Sunday 5pm
This Sunday at 5pm we are delighted to have our intergenerational Community Time Machine project featured on RTÉ Lyric FM as part of their series ‘Golden Opportunities’ that explores how engaging in creativity can provide a lifeline in difficult times.
Tune in on radio or via the RTÉ player online here! Check out more about the link project below.
Nature Scavenger Hunt
Ideas for summer fun
Looking for something fun to get stuck into with kids now that schools are finishing up for the summer holidays?
A lovely idea to try out in your neighbourhood is a local nature scavenger hunt! We love this idea (above) from @muddly_puddly on instagram for a reuseable DIY scavenger hunt board
You can use our template to search for flowers, berries, birds and insects or get creative with your own clues and tailor them to where you live!
