Simple ways to feel good, do good and have fun this summer ---------------------------------- View this email online
| | | | | Hi Roger
Summer is a time for connection, creativity and getting outside - and we’ve got plenty of inspiration to help you make the most of it.
Whether you’re growing, crafting, cooking or simply enjoying the sunshine, we’ve gathered ideas, free events and resources to support your community spirit.
From free family activities and budget-friendly eats to wellbeing workshops and a wildflower photography competition, take a look and see what fits with your plans.
Wishing you a wonderful summer, from us all in the communities team!
| | Join us online on Wednesday 6 August to explore how creative workshops can spark connection and wellbeing in your community. Come along to hear from the Mindful Art Club and share your own experiences. A warm welcome awaits! | | Community growing: what gets in the way?
| | Join a friendly conversation for growers (and would-be growers!) on Monday 11 August to discuss the challenges we face and how we can overcome them together. Share your experiences, swap tips, and pick up practical advice from others. | | Summer at the Eden Project
| | In Cornwall over the summer? Don't miss our new Enchanted Earth experience, captivating Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, lush gardens and Biomes - all included in your Eden Project day ticket. Plus, if you travel by public transport, you’ll bag a free guidebook too. | | | From garden games to nature trails, we’ve gathered loads of fun, free ideas to help families make the most of summer outdoors.
| | | Check out this handy list of where children can eat free (or for £1) during the school holidays. Round up your crew and see what's available near you!
| | | | We’re celebrating 25 years of the National Wildflower Centre - and we’d love you to get involved. Whether it’s a meadow in full bloom, a single pop of colour in a city crack, or a wildflower moment shared with friends, we’re looking for your best wildflower snaps. Enter for the chance to win some brilliant prizes (to be announced soon!).
| | Bring people together through music
| | Much like food, music has a special way of connecting us - be that through singing, playing or simply listening together. If you’re using music to bring people together in your community, Music for All are offering grants of up to £2,000 to support the work of community groups, schools and individuals across the UK.
| | Fancy joining Altruistic August?
| | Small acts of kindness make a big difference - and they make us feel good too. From thank-you notes to thoughtful gestures, find daily inspiration for doing good this August.
