We had a Strawberry Field Summer Fayre at the end of May…and we were very lucky with the weather! \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> The stalls were set out in a Community Hall, with lots of food in the centre and interesting items for sale along the walls….along with Tombola, throwing ping-pong balls into cups (I was surprisingly good at this one!) and nail painting, which I also had done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>I bought a beautiful crocheted blanket square in bright colours, done by one of the students. She had watched her Mother crocheting difficult pieces and taken herself to teach herself this new skill. I am now the proud owner of that start-up blanket and will be looking out for more!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best thing for me, though, was that almost all of the two groups of Strawberry Field Graduates were there. And what a difference in their whole demeanour. I was chatting to confident young people, who told me about their work placements with pride. There was lots of laughter and photo-taking. They all had something to say.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These were the same youngsters who had shied away from engagement just a few months before…now they were keen to share what they had been doing. It made the whole Strawberry Field project come to life.<\/p>\n

This is what it is all about. Taking in young people who need strength and guidance and training….and turning out people who will grow in confidence and take a proper place in society.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next group of students will start shortly and I hear that we will soon have the keys to the new building!<\/p>\n

Watch this space.<\/p>\n
