We did another litter pick this week in High Lea park ahead of One World Festival. The park was very well kept and there wasn't much litter to collect at all. Thanks to New Mills Litterpick Party for loaning the equipment.
We are a group of women who meet together each week at First Steps Nursery in New Mills, Derbyshire. The aims of the group are to provide support, learn new skills, and work in our community. There is a free creche. The meetings give a chance for child-free time with other mums, to chat, discuss, plan and learn.

Metal Stamping Workshop
We did a creative workshop lead by Kim from Darn It! this week. We learnt how to metal stamp jewellery.
It’s very therapeutic hammering the metal although quite noisy. We all took home several pieces of personalised jewellery.

Care Home Visit
In June we visited a care home in New Mills with our children. We had a hot drink and a good chat with the residents. The children really enjoyed meeting the residents and interacting with them.

New Mills Under the Hammer
In May we organised an auction of promises with One World Festival. Over 80 lots were donated from local businesses and individuals. We had a huge variety of lots, everything from artwork, to Forest school classes and a song written and recorded for the winning bid. We raised an amazing £2025 which was split between New Mills Women's Group and One World Festival. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the auction and donated lots.

We are planning to trial some evening meets at Bele Bakery. We hope you can join us for a chat and some of Bele’s delicious bakes.
