The Easter Event went really well, and we definitely got lucky with the weather on the day ☀️

A big thank you to the whole You Matter team and all of the volunteers who helped make it happen. It took a lot behind the scenes and on the day, and we really appreciate everyone getting involved.

Thank you as well to our families and kids for helping with preparations, running around where needed, and holding the fort so everything could come together.

We’re also really grateful to Tesco Greenfield, Tesco Huddersfield Road and Co-op Mossley for donating eggs for the hunt, and to Jordan from JPR Asbestos for providing snacks and drinks.

We hope everyone who came down enjoyed the day. We’re looking forward to putting on more sessions in the coming months, including forest school sessions, traditional craft sessions and holistic workshops.

Keep an eye on our socials for what’s coming up next.

The kids loved the natural play equipment, the hammocks, and especially the big triangle hammock, it was in use pretty much all day.

We’re looking forward to welcoming more of the community down to the site over the coming months as we run more sessions for all ages, so keep an eye out for upcoming sessions on our socials 🌱

The woodland Easter bunny making went down really well at the Easter event 🐰

Lots of great creations and plenty of people getting stuck in and the adults seems to enjoy it as much as the kids did 😄

A little look at some of the last-minute preparations from yesterday before our volunteers, family and friends Easter egg hunt 🐣

There was a bit of everything going on… setting up activities, getting the play equipment ready, sorting the space, and making sure everything was just right for when everyone arrived. As always, it came together with all-hands-on-deck.

Some days on site feel like a proper graft… and today was one of them 💪🌿

A massive shoutout to our hardest working volunteer who came down and got stuck into everything that needed doing. From general jobs across the site to a serious litter pick, they didn’t stop.

The amount of rubbish we pulled out is unbelievable to say we regularly go round collecting.. you wouldn’t think there are two public bins, one at either end of the site 🤯

And once again, the undefeated champion of woodland litter…
🥇 Plastic chippy forks.

We’re really proud of the space we’re building together, and days like today make a huge difference. Every bit of effort helps keep it safe, welcoming, and somewhere people can come to breathe a bit easier 🌱

Another day down at the site getting everything ready for our Volunteers, Family & Friends Easter Egg Hunt 🐣🌿

We’ve been sorting activities, getting things set up, and making a few tweaks to try and make putting the canopy up a bit easier… turns out what we actually need is a massive ladder 😄 so that’s tomorrow’s mission.

We even managed to get the solar panel out and soaking up the sunshine today, which felt like a little win ☀️

It’s all slowly coming together

A few photos from down at the site as we get everything ready for our Volunteers, Family & Friends Easter Egg Hunt 🐣🌿

There’s been plenty going on… from putting up a new swing, to a bit of “quality testing” in the stream (some more successful than others 😄💦), and lots of little jobs to get the space ready for everyone coming down.

It’s been one of those days that reminds us what this place is all about… time together, a bit of laughter, and creating something special for the community.

We’ve been down at the site getting everything ready for our Volunteers, Family & Friends Easter Egg Hunt 🐣🌿

A new swing has gone up (and has definitely had a thorough “safety test” already 😄), and the kids made sure the waders are still working… which they are… just not when you fall over 🤣💦

It’s been a lovely few days of getting things set up, spending time together, and building a bit more magic into the space ready for the weekend.
