Active Neighbourhoods is a programme aimed at empowering residents, in particular social housing tenants, to develop and run a programme of activities that increases use of local green space to improve physical and mental wellbeing, combat social isolation and create community cohesion, and is taking place in four wards in Birmingham (Ladywood, Lozells, Sutton Trinity & Erdington) over two years.
Active Neighbourhoods will be launching in December 2014 in Lozells, Berryfilelds and Summerfield and people are encouraged to come and meet and share how they use their outdoor space and what they would like to see from Groundwork.
These events are FREE to attend, and will be taking place whatever the weather (there are contingency plans should it rain or snow). There will be fun activities for all ages, so why not wrap up warm in coats, hats, gloves, scarves & wellies, and come along and join in some winter fun!!
