Working with young people in the Park

FoBP have linked with the REACH project and Younger Community Service Workers to develop projects within the Growing Space, Wildlife Pond and Wild Flower Gardens in Broomfield Park.

We are working on Saturday mornings with Community Service Workers and all day on Wednesdays for the next two months with 13 to 14yr olds in the REACH Project. This is a programme run by Enfield Council Behaviour Support Service that provides an intervention to help prevent exclusion from school or alternative provision of education. Their aims are to:

  • Make an impact on changing and modifying behaviours and attitudes towards learning beyond their time at school.
  • Enable the learner to achieve a sense of success and pride within the curriculum offered.
  • Develop the learners’ social, emotional and behavioural skills.
  • Introduce learners to new skills and opportunities that they may not have been involved in previously.
Apart from digging out thistles we have been making and filling a large composter, creating and filling raised planting beds in which the group and other community park users can grow food crops, learning and hopefully consuming the products in the process. We will be exploring our beehives and honey production, the many varieties of fruit tree in the orchard and looking at wildlife in the pond among other activities.
