Bromsgrove Love your Neighbour Campaign
Tuesday 9th May 2017Members of the 2nd Bromsgrove joined forces with Houseman Court and The Basement Project for its month-long campaign ‘Love your Neighbour’. The local campaign, which ran throughout February, has been set up in a bid to bring members of the town’s BB group and their local community together as part of a project to show how Community Matters.
The group of 40 BB members, aged 4-18 years, spent two weeks preparing and making the gifts as part of their badge scheme. All of the boys got involved and have really enjoyed the art and craft work undertaken and learnt more about being part of their local community too.
Carina McAuliffe, Project Activity Manager at Houseman Court said “Our residents enjoyed meeting the 25 youngsters who came bearing homemade cards and treats for everyone, with one resident receiving her first ever Valentine’s card, it put a smile on everyone’s face”.
The left-over cards were distributed among the congregation at Bromsgrove Methodist Church on the following Sunday. Over the month of February, the Company also collected non-perishable items and tinned goods for The Basement Project, a local charity which helps young families and people who are homeless, in and around Bromsgrove. The boys and their families collected over six large bags of goods to donate.
