My oh my, thank goodness this morning’s rain passed up by as the upper class at Kirkcolm were invited along to the Kirkcolm Community Hub for a visit this afternoon! How lovely it was for all of us (especially those of us who do not live centrally in the village) to see what this little community have put together.
Pupils sat down, greeted the slightly older crowd who had came down for a Warm Wednesday session, and tucked into biscuits and juice provided by the kind folks working at the hub that day! Ainsley explained to pupils the purpose of the hub is and what it has to offer to them while I enjoyed a first-hand view of what they’ve been working on…
They are currently developing a new space to host the Fed0-Up Cafe 4 times a week, this will be open from 10am-2pm daily and will provide hot drinks, cool drinks, cakes and biscuits and a light hot food menu for those passing through the village! Set to open in February, you can see already all the hard work that has been put into developing this space and I can’t wait to see it flourish and to pop down for my own lunch some days…
The people behind the scenes have been working hard to develop an eco-friendly space with solar panels and air pump heating, they shared these developments with the pupils knowing Kirkcolm Primary’s own strong Eco Positive stance!
The space already hosts a variety of activities, from Tai-Chi to art classes and is available to hire out to any prospective events…
Overall, we love seeing what the community is getting up to and we are never ones to turn down an offer to get out and about, so it was lovely seeing what there was on our own doorstep and realising all the ways we could work together and make use of this space!
Thanks again to Ainsley McClure for inviting us down and all the others working together at Kirkcolm Community Hub!
