We did our final path clearance at Urban Escape tonight! We weren’t deterred by the darkness or the rain and got back into weeding and lifting, ready to be wood chipped by a children’s group soon.

Fuelled by cake, we replaced our butterfly lights and head torches with some super pretty sparklers to end the last session - thank you so much Lisa! We can’t wait to be back asap

Everyone Is Welcome. Everyone Is Valued. Everybody Matters

Urban Escape is based at the roundhouse and acre growing space at Springfield Allotments in Knowle and aims to reconnect young people and adults with nature, create lasting relationships and supporting local people on their journey through life. The project utilises a wide variety of outdoor activities, life skills and group work as the tool to engage the groups and build relationships. Hands on and creative activities throughout the year include bush craft, growing, foraging and cooking fresh food, natural arts and crafts, community engagement and social action projects. The Junior, Senior and Adult groups take ownership of their projects by choosing activities and trips at different points through the year. All three groups have a maximum of 10 young people/adults at any one time because of the tools and activities used for the sessions. http://www.youthmoves.org.uk/urban-escape
