Following the
success of last year, which saw a 20% increase in participant's well-being,
Green UPLIFT is back for another season, and we’re already well underway with our jam packed programme of outdoor creative events, bringing a breath of fresh air to those
involved.
For those that are new to the programme, Green UPLIFT is a special calendar of unique & memorable outdoor events, designed by artists to inspire and uplift. The calendar features 2/3 main events every month, taking place across the beautiful green spaces in and around Barnsley. There is a marvellous mix of Uplifts on offer, including, land art workshops, rewinding walks, creative camps, allotment socials, relaxing residential and lots more! Each Green UPLIFT is designed to build our connection and understanding of the natural environment, always with a creative twist!
Whether you’re a green fingered enthusiast or just enjoy the chance to be outdoors connecting with others, uplifters are welcome to join us at the Shaw Lane allotments where we are thrilled to own a little patch of a larger Community Allotment managed by Barnsley YMCA. We have a weekly group that meets every Wednesday 12 - 3pm.
For those who like to ramble, we have a weekly walking group that takes place every Friday afternoon, alternating between easy park strolls and more challenging walks (around 4-5 miles). It’s a great opportunity to get your steps in whilst having a chat with some lovely folk in the fresh air.
The Green UPLIFT programme is designed for people who are struggling, who may be experiencing low mood, stress and are fed up of four walls and in need of company and a boost. If this sounds like something you’d like to get involved in it’s easy to register, just text ‘Go Green’ to 07916 282 064 and a member of our team will ring you back to complete a 10 minute form. You will start receiving information about the Green UPLIFT Programme and the events on offer.
We'd love to see you on an UPLIFT event soon!
