Family Volunteers Day
Children from Hilltop C of E Primary School took some
time out of their day to do a good deed at the centre last month for Family
Volunteers Day when they managed to litter-pick 4 bags of rubbish from the
grounds of the Sedbergh Centre! We would like to say a BIG thank you to
everyone who took part!
Volunteers Wanted
Sensory seating project
We are looking for volunteers and
community groups to help build a sensory seating area in the grounds of the
Sedbergh Centre during the summer months next to the children’s play area. The
seats and planters have already been made and the first stage of the project
will include building it with the second stage concentrating on planting a
collection of sensory plants aimed to stimulate all the senses and attract the
wildlife.
Stage 1: Build
sensory seating area

We have also lots of volunteering and work experience opportunities for all ages at our regular sessions where you can help out whilst gaining valuable skills. Call Arnie or Lucy on 01274 6789843 for more details.
Go Higher
Part of the SAY #iwill project
Last month
we held a Higher Education Information Evening as part of
the SAY #iwill project when members of the local community were
invited to join representatives from the Sedbergh Centre, colleges and
universities to learn about getting access to further education,
apprenticeships and volunteering/work experience opportunities and myth-busting
about student finance. Alicia Bruce, SAY #iwill Ambassador, talked about our project
and how it is benefiting her.
We would
like to thank everyone who came along and Go Higher – West Yorkshire for
putting on this event.
"Volunteering
for the Go Higher Event was really
beneficial
as it gave me good insight on higher
education
as a prospect 16-year old and the
opportunity
to develop my public speaking"
- Alicia Bruce
