Hi, my name is Laura Melville I am 35 years old.
I have lived in Townhill since I was 14 and I have always worked closely with the local community.
I am Chair of the ‘friends of paradise park’ group and I also run the summer playscheme. I am also a member of the steering group for the Local People Project.
Due to covid 19 our annual playscheme couldn’t go ahead as planned and when I was approached to run the Townhill Summer Club, I was over the moon.
I feel the children of Townhill and Mayhill need these activities so I was very pleased with the aspect of starting a new summer club.
We try and vary our sessions so there is something for every child to enjoy and learn a new skill. We have run cooking, funky pump, website and social media, football, crafts, and forest school full-day sessions…The children have all enjoyed this five-week programme.
Every day we take part in a community mile walk around Townhill and Mayhill area and we have great numbers turning up without fail. Ages range is from 2-69 so it is something for everyone and I have loved seeing the kid’s faces when we have a surprise visit from Spiderman and Captain America from SuperHero Patrol.
Thanks for a great summer everyone!
