Mid-Argyll Youth Community Learning Summer GIVE group volunteered for 4 days. They visited the Care Home and many of them brought baked goods that they had made at home. The Young People spent time talking to, reading and playing games with the residents. Some of the YP found this really challenging and during evaluation many of them were able to identify how sitting quietly with a resident is just as valuable and helpful than the litter pick that we had completed previously. Most of them were able to comment on how their confidence and wellbeing was impacted by these activities. The YP also spent the day recycling bicycles up at the woodland with one of our partners Argyll Countryside Trust. They also helped the ranger by managing the woodland, removing and moving woodchips around the woodland. We were also involved with Rainbow Fest (Report given already by Jamie). So far we have received a great response for the community and have already identified points to improve on and consider moving forward.
