Bonfire season

by

Many people are out working in the garden and clearing the garden waste.

Thinking of having a bonfire?

Can you avoid burning, burn cleaner, burn safely?

Bonfires can cause harmful particulate air pollution at home and in your neighbourhood. This negatively impacts the health of your family and community, affecting your heart and lungs.

Avoid burning: Instead of having a bonfire, compost garden waste at home or through council garden waste collections.

Burn cleaner: If you do need to have a bonfire, only burn dry, untreated wood and don’t burn household or wet garden waste.

Burn Safely: Follow fire safety advice, be aware of the impacts of air pollution and consider your neighbours, community and wildlife.

For more information and advice on wood burning, see the Environment Centre (tEC) website: https://environmentcentre.com/wood-burning/ or contact cleanair@environmentcentre.com.

Call out for Local Theatre Makers & Youth workers

The Point and David Glass Ensemble are keen to engage with local practitioners with a strong interest in working with young people to join us on an exciting new project which uses theatre and creativity to empower young people and give voice to the voiceless.

Renowned teacher and founder of the Lost Child Project, David Glass, will be leading a three-day introduction into the Lost Child Practice, which will launch a future Lost Child Project to happen in Eastleigh and surrounding areas over 2021/2022.

Workshop dates 1st, 2nd and 3rd June – This workshop is free of charge, and will take place at The Point, Eastleigh.

Please contact me if this applies to you!

Please share this opportunity further if it might suit your colleagues or people in your network. Interested parties should reply to me to let us know they’d like to take part.

If you have any queries at all, do get in touch – I look forward to hearing from you.
