Street Art, Stroll and a Cuppa….. Thursday 27th May 2021 @ 1.30pm

Dear all,

Karen H and I wondered if anyone would like to join us to have a browse around the Hyde Park area to view the Street Art. Some of the pieces were added in 2019 through the Colour Hyde Park Project (CHP), sponsored by the University of Leeds. There is some debate if one of them is by Banksy?

If you wish to come along then let me know. We will stop at a cafe for a cuppa too. We will meet at 1.30pm, at a meeting point to be confirmed. I have ordered some warmer weather too (well fingers crossed), so who knows you might need to put some sunscreen on as well!

Email: lisa@caringtogether.org.uk, or call 07436 530073 if you wish to come along.

Exercising Mind and Body this week: In person and Online

Exercising mind and body this week: In person and Online

Some of our ‘Indoor Exercise Sessions’ re-commenced yesterday.

As yet we are not able to get back into Little London Community Centre but thanks to the support of Lovell Park Hub in Little London we were able to host three exercise sessions throughout the day yesterday in Little London. As we are only allowed 6 persons inside for each session for now, some members also joined us online.

Email: lisa@caringtogether.org.uk, or call 07436 530073 if you wish to have a go either online or indoors and I can send you the zoom invite and timings.

These sessions will run each Tuesday for a further 5 weeks. You have three times to choose from. One in the morning, one just before lunch and one in the afternoon. Thanks to RJC Dance, Dom (Dominique) covers the first two and Julie, who we welcomed back after over a year, covers the last one.

As restrictions are now easing we will let you know of other dates and times of further exercise sessions in both Woodhouse and Little London once known. In the meantime we are still continuing to offer walks and other events/activities as well and will let you know about these nearer the time.

Caring Moments: Donations, Alterations and Potting….

Our new space has had a splash of colour added. Myrna altered the batak, made by members, so we can eventually get it up on the wall. She also brought in some brightly coloured plant pots. It is lovely to see it slowly but surely coming to life.
 
 
We have also been donated some second hand books, CD’s, DVD’s and Hello magazines too. if you would like some call 07436 530073 or email: lisa@caringtogether.org.uk

Wednesday 12th May 2021: Mass Observation Day

Would you like to keep a one-day diary for Mass Observation?

may12th 4
On the 12th May 2021, the Mass Observation Archive will be repeating its annual call for day diaries, capturing the everyday lives of people across the UK. The written diaries will be stored in the Archive at The Keep and be used by a wide range of people for research, teaching and learning.

In 1937 Mass Observation called for people from all parts of the UK to record everything they did from when they woke up in the morning to when they went to sleep at night on 12th May. This was the day of George VI’s Coronation. The resulting diaries provide a wonderful glimpse into the everyday lives of people across Britain and have become an invaluable resource for those researching countless aspects of the era.

We don’t know how life will be on the 12th May, but we would like your help to document it. Please tell your family and friends. It will be valuable to have a collection from people of all ages across the UK.

Last year we received over 5000 diaries.

We would love to hear from you again to find out how your life is a year on.

We understand it has been a very difficult year and we were touched that so many people chose to share their stories with Mass Observation.

If you didn’t send a diary in last year, why not join in this year and tell us about your life now in 2021?

Diaries can record 12th May and reflect back over the past year and look forward to the future and life beyond this year.

Share your lives, your hopes and your dreams with Mass Observation for future generations.

All details about how to take part are here: http://www.massobs.org.uk/write-for-us/12th-may

Over 5000 diaries were sent in last year and there are a series of short films reflecting some of the themes here http://www.massobs.org.uk/learning/12th-may-resources
