We had the pleasure of welcoming #Artist Layla Tutt to our #ArtsCafรฉ recently. Layla inspired residents with her #creativity, teaching them to #craft woven #textile hangings. Some attendees transformed their creations into charming #tea coasters!

A bandstand makes for a good shelter! Still managed to make plans to plant a nature screen of tree & hedge saplings between #StechfordVillageGreen @NTBirmingham #PocketPark & Station Rd, as well as involve more local schools, scouts & residents in the planting #WMCA #UrbanNature

Do you have a family member, or friend, who doesn't have access to the internet? Perhaps you need to sit down with a laptop, rather than using your phone.
Pop down to the DRC on Thursday mornings, between 10.00am - 12.00pm to use our free, Internet Cafรฉ!

Our Arts Cafe participants recently had the opportunity to work with the super talented Juneau Projects. With their guidance residents discovered just how well they could #draw & create their own nature inspired collaged sculptures. Drop-in & join us this Thursday!

Interested in local history as much as we are?!
Grab a cuppa and have a read of "An account of #Yardley during World War Two," with testimonies from people who lived in Yardley during the 1930/40s. Maybe you can discover something new!
