Bristol City Council’s Learning Communities Team Building Day
On Friday 28th January Johnny de Mearns facilitated a team building day for parents of children attending the St Pauls Children’s Centre in Bristol. The day was initiated by Vandana Sharma of Bristol City Council’s Learning Communities Team and the day’s activities; icebreakers, team development activities and Land Art creation were devised and delivered by Johnny. This wonderfully diverse group of mothers enjoyed an excellent creche facility, fabulous food and the glorious countryside around Folly Farm as well as being supported by the beautiful buildings and sensitive staff there. The day has proved to be a great success generating as it has a self-led Parents Forum and new governors being nominated already! To top it all…The Sun came out to smile on it all.
