Learning the craft of living and surviving outdoors was exactly what a team from Goldcrest House did at Forest School in Scunthorpe.
From building shelters to roasting marshmallows using their hand made spears, the team even made a mallet from a log. And of course the really important bit – made a camp fire to cook bacon!
Nothing signals summer like horticulture activities at Goldcrest House.
And just look at these beautiful bustling and blooming planters of flowers and plants tended to and pampered by our very own Mr Green Fingers.
What a treat to be able to sit back in our garden and take in all these beautiful sights and smells.
Catching the running bug are Pam and Chris, who have taken their love of participating in the Goole 5k Parkrun one step further by signing up for the British Heart Foundation’s ‘A Marathon in May’ fundraising initiative.
Gradually building up their mileage from three miles to 26.2, Pam and Chris took on the challenge to raise funds for life saving research, at their own pace, in their own way, raising a grand total of £176.43 from generous sponsors.
Mary Casson, support worker at Goldcrest House says: “Pam and Chris have really embraced this initiative. From taking part in Saturday’s Parkrun, at West Park in Goole, Their enthusiasm for fitness and taking on challenges has really captured their imagination, so when I saw this initiative from the British Heart Foundation I thought, I know two people who will like this!”
