The Littlewoods of Stockbridge Association
Junior Rangers volunteered to help the community do a litter pick and clean up in the Hollowcroft area of Stockbridge Village. They worked hard with community members and volunteers through wind, hail rain and sunshine and did a fantastic job. We’ll done kids !!!!
Knowsley Foodbank
Good news! Our superstar fundraiser Theo is back at it again - He's been doing his annual Easter egg collection for Knowsley Foodbank, hoping to beat the record he set last year of 500 eggs. We can now proudly say that he's smashed that record and, with the help of his little brother Sonny and Knowsley Football Club, dropped off a whopping 550 chocolate eggs this weekend for us to give out over Easter!
Theo has been an amazing ambassador for the Big Help Project, and his dedication to making sure no one in his local community goes hungry always blows us away. Join us in giving an extra special thank you to Theo and Sonny for all their hard work and generosity - their efforts mean that we can make sure that every family gets to have a happy Easter!
The Whitechapel Centre
The Whitechapel Centre are starting to receive the first donations of Easter Eggs for the children in the families we support but we need some more to make sure every child receives one.
If you have any spares please drop them off to our donations warehouse, Unit 6, 10A Blackstock Street, L3 6EP. Thank you

Celebrating Knowsley
Borough of Culture this year, we saw our magnificent stately home illuminated in a series of dramatic projections that celebrated Knowsley's colourful past, present and future. The various light projections looked incredible lighting up the front façade of the Hall.
This stunning lightshow depicted images from the medieval fable The Eagle and Child which Sir John Stanley adopted as the family crest in 1385 and is still used by The Earls of Derby today. The pictorial narrative went on to show Knowsley's historical links to William Shakespeare and
Shakespeare North and limerick writer and artist Edward Lear.
Littlewoods of Stockbridge
Littlewoods of Stockbridge
You would have probably found us doing some lovely activities in the lovely clearing there... More 'Positive Signs' with Emily Salinas, drumming with
Rhythm Reaction...and then running for cover from the rain!
That couldn't dampen our spirits though! The last two sessions of our Wellbeing in the Woods event took place in St Albert The Great Church Hall, where we imagined ourselves flowing outdoors with nature, with some lovely yoga warrior and tree poses, from the calming Dione
Yogaisasyoga Does and topped off, of course, by a lovely music workshop and indoor sound bath meditation from the amazing
Catherine Odita Mbe
Despite the rainy start to the event, everyone's hearts were left warmed by the healing vibes by the end of the day.
Thanks to the practitioners and everyone who came along today, and for your incredibly generous feedback, and of course thanks to the partners, Maria from @TheLittlewoodsofStockbridgeAssociation for your incredible insight, help in organising this event and your unrivalled passion for your beautiful woodlands, and also to our funders:
ForHousing Stockbridge Village @KnowsleyBoroughCouncil
Livv Housing Group One Knowsley and
#knowsleysnap for your continued support, and also St Albert's Church for the shelter from the elements, and
Rays Craft Bakery for some yummy food today!
For now, we're having a much needed break of our own for some training, but we'll be back with our 'Sharing is Self-Caring' Kombucha heritage project in Spring, and watch out for more adventures in healing, music, art, nature, sound and food around the woodlands and green spaces of Knowsley, in early summer 2022!
If you'd like to be kept up to date with our projects, DM us and we'll put you on out mailing list so that you're the first to know about creative and wellbeing activities near you!
