Welcome to the Jungle 🌱

Wow, our polytunnels and beds are really coming on, not only have we had our first crop of delicious strawberries but our tomatoes, spuds, scallions, radishes, carrots, leeks and onions are growing incredibly well 🥔🥕🧅

These Plough on guys are something else and we cannot thank them enough 🫶 Even Isla who is with us on work experience this week helped out this morning.

Usually a fiver a punnett 🍓

We had our first crop of fresh strawberries this morning and what a better thing to do with them than share them with our great friends at St. Mary's Primary School Kircubbin for their SCU Units, we hope they all made them to the kids Michelle?

Fresh Fruit for Fabulous kids 🥰

Creative Carpenters 🪚

Today was the final session in our amazing 4 week Creative Carpentry course with the brilliant Paddy & Ben from Deeprock Woodworking 🫶

Over the last 4 weeks our 6 participants have learned all the skills to make tables and also the most beautiful chopping boards I have ever seen.

The programme has been a fantastic way to improve mental and physical health all whilst learning new skills and we hope to be back with Paddy & Ben very soon.

As it is Volunteers Week we just wanted to shout out a big massive thank you to all the volunteers that make Peninsula Healthy Living such an amazing place 🫶

Without you we would not be able to fully provide all the services we do and we cannot thank you enough for giving up your time to help our community out.

From growing vegetables, to leading our walking groups, driving our minibus and even helping out with the Hens Shed, your contributions are priceless.

Thank you all ❤️

Warm and drizzly 🌦️

It was a muggy morning in Ballywalter for our Monday walkers but the beach provided the perfect spot for a stroll.

Next week Portavogie will be the venue, so fire on your trainers and meet us at the Quays car park at 10am.

Where did you walk this morning?
