Upper Moreton Rural Activities CIC

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our first open day for Upper Moreton Rural Activities (UMRA) at our new classroom site.

It was wonderful to welcome so many returning visitors, as well as lots of new faces on this July day. We hope you enjoyed learning more about the community aims of UMRA, our wide range of courses, kindly funded through Staffordshire Community Learning and the community based day opportunities that we offer too.

It was a pleasure to introduce our much loved animals including our well knowed donkeys and Shire horse. We were also delighted to showcase the fantastic work created by our learners and day opportunities participants, along with the thriving polytunnel full of plants that all had grown.

The day was filled with friendly conversations, laughter and community spirit and it was a joy to share what makes UMRA such a special place.

A very special thank you goes to our dedicated staff, volunteers and friends whose hard work, enthusiasm and support made the day such a tremendous success. We could not have done it without you.

Thank you once again to everyone who came along. Your encouragement and support mean so much to us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We had a lovely time at Hednesford library during our "No Waste Hero" morning. The children enjoyed making insect-themed pots from recycled bits and bobs.

We also learned how Tiger worms help with composting and discovered how we can create succulent pots by reusing glass dessert dishes.

Everyone took part in "sort the waste" challenge and ended a productive morning with various colouring and completing of wordsearches.

Our next "No Waste Hero" library sessions will be on Thursday 28th May at Rising Brook library in the morning and Brereton library for the afternoon. We look forward to seeing you there!
