Creative RevolutionHERies
We're delighted that Rockaway Park was awarded a Willson Grant, which aims to provide residents in the Somer Valley with more opportunities to boost their physical and mental wellbeing. The grant supports individuals, community groups and organisations to provide free active travel, or creative, sustainable and cultural projects in the area.
Our project, Creative RevolutionHERies, provided two sets of 6-week workshops in woodwork, metalwork and welding for young women, with the aim of supporting their wellbeing and growing their confidence through the development of new skills. The workshops also provided a safe environment where new friendships could be built.
Two stunning planters have now been created from reclaimed materials by two groups of amazing women for the Somer Valley Greenways to encourage people to get active in the area and explore the many beautiful green spaces.
For the full story of our Creative RevolutionHERies and their experience on the workshops, you can read our blog below.
