@Kimbohud @markrowlands569 @AlistairCarns Thank you Kim. I agree it was brilliant. Thank you as always for bringing your inner joy and enthusiasm.

@OurSceneCIC @markrowlands569 @AlistairCarns I think today shone for you & Shelley - you work so hard to bring us all together doing fun stuff, and today's African Drumming Workshop with Rocky & Andy rounded off a brilliant day with lovely people

Another 14 bags from Brandwood B14 to add to #onemillionbags @markrowlands569 We had a new recruit today @AlistairCarns too who filled one up and saw for himself the thoughtless littering & flytipping, which seems to be Birmingham-wide!

Love our litter picking friends. Every week picking up the slack.

Spent 5 hours with my Litter Pick 3 of us) & Park gang (8 of us) tidying Brandwood & our lovely local Dawberry Fields Park. Between us collected 15 bags! #onemillionbags

#FruitAndNutVillage #Billesley #FruitTreePlanting this March and April...

Thanks for 🙌the coverage today @BBCMidlandsPR on the garden fb.watch/wwpHs0tKH4/ There are many amazing community action projects across Brum run by the third sector that work hard to build community & make a difference, but few feature on the news! Positivity spreads.

Dawberry Corner Community Garden is in the news! Full feature will be on Midlands Today at 6.30pm featuring more of the fab volunteers. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Thank you to the fab folk of The Good Yarners for the tree & fence decorations for Dawberry Corner Community Garden. Castle Cartons in Kings Road sponsored the tree & lights. It looks so pretty! Online gallery of makes here: ourscene.org/baubles/ project funded by @SellyOakNNS

It's turning into a duvet weekend! Tomorrow's event is cancelled. Stay safe if you are out and about in this horrible weather. Composting workshops will be rescheduled in 2025.

Lovely morning in Dawberry Corner Garden with @OprahFlash & Paul from the BBC News team, talking about the garden transformation & how it is bringing us closer to nature & to our neighbours thanks to a Nature Fund grant from @hellohubbub & Starbucks. Keep an eye out for the piece

Ready for next Sunday's workshop (you are all welcome), the rat proofed compost bays are finished!! Massive thank you to Andy, Adrian and Julie from the garden volunteer team who built them and to Louise at #TheCompostConnectionCIC for the expert guidance.

We are setting up composting in Dawberry Corner Community Garden. Do you also want to turn your kitchen scraps into rich, nutritious compost? Learn the basics for the perfect compost in this free workshop. Please prebook on 07476 898419 or team@ourscene.org

@SandwellSkidder @eldiablo0786 @OurSceneCIC @enjoykingsheath @DarrylMagher Respectfully, you need to be more mindful of who you are catching in the crossfire when you are tweeting about Kings Heath being rubbish. It doesn't look great calling Disabled People a "special interest group" & implying businesses don't want disabled people to shop with them.

Our final post for #PurpleTuesday We've been offering a window sticker to the 16 businesses in High Street area who have a hearing loop system installed. Our project with @enjoykingsheath is also offering small grants of £200 via #UKSPF funding to businesses who might want one!

As part of our #UKSPF funded project with @enjoykingsheath we have created resources for disabled shoppers to help them plan their visit to Kings Heath High Street. This survey was produced by local residents with access needs from their perspective: enjoykingsheath.com/accessibility/

@SandwellSkidder @eldiablo0786 @enjoykingsheath @DarrylMagher We are giving away grants of up to £200 to help businesses in Kings Heath to improve access. Less a demand, and more an offer of support I would have thought?

Just as a "charity" demands skint businesses in #kingsheath invest their minimal profits in favour of "their" chosen special interest group this is the reality this morning - another York Road business biting the dust! @eldiablo0786 @OurSceneCIC @enjoykingsheath @DarrylMagher

The #purpletuesday message we have for Kings Heath businesses is that it makes business sense to improve access! Why wouldn't you?? There are so many potential local customers with access needs & £££ you might be missing out on! Tag a local business owner! @enjoykingsheath #UKSPF

We've been giving out NEW window stickers as part of #PurpleTuesday to raise awareness to shoppers about portable ramp access along KH High Street and the work we are doing with @enjoykingsheath funded by #UKSPF to improve access for disabled customers. enjoykingsheath.com/accessibility/

Was fun!
