It's been a busy first couple of weeks of the summer holidays for the projects. We've been surfing, learning bushcraft, drumming, beat boxing and horse riding. We've made bug houses and learnt to make paper as part of our climate project. And there's loads more to come...

Thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund Cymru for helping us to make our projects and our community more eco friendly. Our members are gardening, growing and recycling.

A big thank you to @BorderlandsWye and MonLife for the first of our bushcraft days at Gilwern OEC. It may have been rather wet in the afternoon but everyone had an amazing time.

With the summer holidays almost at an end we would like to thank everyone who has helped our projects to deliver such a busy and fun-filled schedule over the past 6 weeks.
