We've been working with @aliveactivities and residents at two local care homes who have been learning to brew beer.

The aim is to improve the lives of older people, including those living with dementia.

Cheers! 🍺

Talking about sexual intimacy with your partner can be embarrassing, shameful, awkward. When you have experienced Female Genital Cutting or Modification it can make that conversation 100 times more difficult.

We had a big tidy and harvesting session at Brentry this week before finishing with some of the 🍻 beer our hops contributed to, washed down with homemade cake 🎂.

The allotment is still very productive and full of colour - long may it last 🌈 🌿

We had a fantastic final cohort meeting, bringing together all of our 2024/2025 seedcorn funded projects to showcase their work and discuss their next steps.

It was brilliant to see fantastic videos, artwork, and even to taste sample some tasty outputs.
