POP UP CAFE
Sundays 12-4pm

If you are feeling isolated, would like to meet new people in your community - or if you are struggling with food prices going up or worried about your bills then do come along to our Warm Welcome Cafe.

The Cafe can be found at Flourish House (23-25 Ashley St, G3 6DR) on a weekly basis on Sundays.

Our warm welcome is run on a drop-in basis, with no need to book.

Food is provided on a pay what you can afford basis, but is totally free to people struggling financially.

Further food support is also available by our veg box scheme

You can support someone in need, by buying a meal forward. £5 would buy a hot meal and drink for one person, £10 would help 2 people and £25 would help 5 people.

Join us in the garden every Sunday for
- the chance to get to know other local people who care about the local environment
- opportunities to help us in the garden with weeding, maintenance, composting, tidying and carrying out repairs and improvements.
- for other pop-up events, workshops and activities.

Our garden volunteer sessions are open to local people who want to help us in keeping the garden as a special place for both people and nature. Previous gardening experience isn't required, so you can come along even if you are new to gardening. We are also looking for some people with DIY skills to help with basic repairs. Volunteering is suitable for adults rather than children.

Often there are more volunteers than there are garden jobs that we can supervise. But if there isn’t enough work for you to do, you are still very welcome to come along to chat and socialise with other people in the garden.

Please do not attend the session if you have any symptoms of Covid.

Tea and coffee provided, but please dress appropriately for outdoor working.

Iyengar Yoga For People Of Colour

WHEN

Monday 29th April

TIME

6:00-7.15pm

WHERE

Woodlands Community Meeting Room

COST

Free

MORE INFO

We are over the moon to announce that Tina Freeland will be teaching Iyengar Yoga classes at Woodlands for People of Colour for the next year. The classes are free to attend and have been generously funded by Iyengar Yoga UK. By supporting these classes, IYUK are giving a clear signal about their intentions in becoming a more inclusive organisation. We thank them for listening to their POC members.

Tina is the chair of the Equity Committee of Iyengar Yoga UK and is charged with ensuring that Iyengar yoga is made more equitable and inclusive. However, many yoga spaces are perceived as the domain of "white middle-class”people. Without actively engaging with different groups of people, this stereotype will remain. She would like to not only spread the benefits of yoga, but also change the perception and enable People of Colour and people from the LGBTQIA + community to feel comfortable in a yoga class.

The classes will take place in our community meeting room, which is quite a small space. It will be on a first come first serve basis so please arrive a little early to get a spot. The classes are open to all People of Colour aged 18+ and all equipment will be provided.

Iyengar Yoga is the world’s most widely practised method of yoga, developed by Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar and is a form of Hatha Yoga that promotes the art of yoga not simply as a physical practice. 

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability. 

This means that every body is able to work to develop their strength, stability and mobility due to the teacher’s ability to adapt poses and therefore make classes inclusive, creating equal access for everyone.

Tina had been practicing Iyengar Yoga for over 20 years before she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. She began because yoga was recommended to help with her back problems and continued because of the benefits to her physical health and general well-being. Tina was attracted to the Iyengar method because it is authentic, and incorporates all aspects of the ancient yoga tradition.

Woodlands Community Meeting Room

COST

Free

MORE INFO

Join Tariqua one of our Elders in our community who is offering to share and let us remember the ancient knowledge for an immersive journey into the world of two resilient herbal plants:

The Dandelion & Nettle.

These universal and widespread plants offer us not only sustenance but also a deep connection to the natural world around us. In this workshop, we will delve into our human connection with these plants, exploring their medicinal properties, nutritional values, and the various ways we can incorporate them into our lives.

In our shared time we will be doing : 

Foraging and Digging: We will venture into and around the garden to forage and dig up these herbal plants, we will speak on the respectful and sustainable practices of harvesting from nature. As we collect the plants, we will emphasise the importance of giving back to nature, offering gratitude for the gifts it provides us.

Circle storytelling and share : After our foraging adventure, we will come together in a circle to share our experiences and insights. Through guided reflections, we will tap into our innate wisdom and deepen our connection to the plants and the natural world.

Learning or skill sharing  we will learn about the nutritional values and medicinal properties of dandelion and nettle. We will explore various ways to prepare and use these plants, from teas and tinctures to foods.

Due to limited space, we can accommodate up to 10 participants. The  workshop is open to any POC.

We appreciate donations for the facilitator of this workshop and will be welcomed in a bucket in our space . 

Donations will also be used to support our efforts in organising future workshops. 

If the workshop is full, contact us to get on the waiting list of our next session .

Iyengar Yoga For People Of Colour

WHEN

Tuesday 20th August

TIME

6:00-7.15pm

WHERE

Woodlands Community Meeting Room

COST

Free

MORE INFO

We are over the moon to announce that Tina Freeland will be teaching Iyengar Yoga classes at Woodlands for People of Colour for the next year. The classes are free to attend and have been generously funded by Iyengar Yoga UK. By supporting these classes, IYUK are giving a clear signal about their intentions in becoming a more inclusive organisation. We thank them for listening to their POC members.

Tina is the chair of the Equity Committee of Iyengar Yoga UK and is charged with ensuring that Iyengar yoga is made more equitable and inclusive. However, many yoga spaces are perceived as the domain of "white middle-class”people. Without actively engaging with different groups of people, this stereotype will remain. She would like to not only spread the benefits of yoga, but also change the perception and enable People of Colour and people from the LGBTQIA + community to feel comfortable in a yoga class.

The classes will take place in our community meeting room, which is quite a small space. It will be on a first come first serve basis so please arrive a little early to get a spot. The classes are open to all People of Colour aged 18+ and all equipment will be provided.

Iyengar Yoga is the world’s most widely practised method of yoga, developed by Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar and is a form of Hatha Yoga that promotes the art of yoga not simply as a physical practice. 

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability. 

This means that every body is able to work to develop their strength, stability and mobility due to the teacher’s ability to adapt poses and therefore make classes inclusive, creating equal access for everyone.

Tina had been practicing Iyengar Yoga for over 20 years before she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. She began because yoga was recommended to help with her back problems and continued because of the benefits to her physical health and general well-being. Tina was attracted to the Iyengar method because it is authentic, and incorporates all aspects of the ancient yoga tradition.

Iyengar Yoga is the world’s most widely practised method of yoga, developed by Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar and is a form of Hatha Yoga that promotes the art of yoga not simply as a physical practice. 

Iyengar yoga is also accessible to people of all abilities because of its use of props – such as foam bricks, blocks, belts and even chairs, that enable the practitioner to experience the essence of each asana no matter their physical capability. 

This means that every body is able to work to develop their strength, stability and mobility due to the teacher’s ability to adapt poses and therefore make classes inclusive, creating equal access for everyone.

Tina had been practicing Iyengar Yoga for over 20 years before she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. She began because yoga was recommended to help with her back problems and continued because of the benefits to her physical health and general well-being. Tina was attracted to the Iyengar method because it is authentic, and incorporates all aspects of the ancient yoga tradition.

MORE INFO

We are over the moon to announce that Tina Freeland will be teaching Iyengar Yoga classes at Woodlands for People of Colour for the next year. The classes are free to attend and have been generously funded by Iyengar Yoga UK. By supporting these classes, IYUK are giving a clear signal about their intentions in becoming a more inclusive organisation. We thank them for listening to their POC members.

Tina is the chair of the Equity Committee of Iyengar Yoga UK and is charged with ensuring that Iyengar yoga is made more equitable and inclusive. However, many yoga spaces are perceived as the domain of "white middle-class”people. Without actively engaging with different groups of people, this stereotype will remain. She would like to not only spread the benefits of yoga, but also change the perception and enable People of Colour and people from the LGBTQIA + community to feel comfortable in a yoga class.
