Gardening Lunch Club
Today we went to the first monthly Gardening Lunch Club at Woodham Community Centre where we met people from the community centre who are interested in using the garden at the Pioneering Care Centre. We walked there, had a chat and enjoyed our lunch, then got the bus back.

Today we met Jess, the new social care student who is going to be on placement with us for the next 8 weeks on a Thursday. We all introduced ourselves and did a getting to know you activity so we could find out more about each other.

Gardening
Today some of us went out into the garden for the start of the Grow Your Community gardening project. Howard who runs the project told us what we would be doing over the next couple of months including decorating the garden beds, pruning the shrubs and re-planting the onions and broad beans into the beds. Today we were pruning and shaping the shrubs around the garden.

Great North Run Cheque Presentation
Tonight Chris Wright and his friend Jerry who ran the Great North Run for us in September, came in to visit us during Social Club to present us with a cheque for the money they had raised for Options. The total amount raised was an amazing £529! We were all thrilled to meet them and thank them for their generous fund raising and hope to see them again soon.
Poetry
Today we wrote up our trip to Middlesbrough last week. It was World Poetry Day the day we went so we decided to write up our trip in the form of a poem...
We went to Middlesbrough on the train
The weather was great and it didn't rain
Today was World Poetry Day
The train driver had a lot to say
As we arrived at Darlington
We looked around the train station
The train pulled into Allens West
The driver said pick up your things it's for the best
We finally arrived at Boro
Where we bumped into a terror
It made us gulp
It looked like a werewolf
But it was just Linda in the mirror
We had our dinner at the caf
We ate our food and had a good laugh
Then we went shopping until we were dropping
And needed to relax in the bath
