Thanks to your donations, the young people's cave is now ready for play after a beautiful ribbon cutting ceremony by birthday girl Ledia. In June we will introduce 300 local children to the cave on a transition project for year 6 students moving to secondary school. If you want to be a part of the team that does this, get in touch to register your interest in becoming a Make Moves volunteer! Dates are June 18th-27th with a mandatory training day on Saturday June 16th. Thanks again for all of your contributions, they couldn't have done it without your support!

Last week Habibah from George Greens School had a sweet idea. She asked classmates and teachers to guess how many sweets are in the jar, charging 50p per guess. From this she raised a sugar coated £32! - Thanks Habbiah and Spun for the donating the sweets.

Head over to the education section of the East London Advertiser to read about our cave project! “Play spaces in East London are uninspiring, with so many being closed,” Toynbee Hall’s Curtis Worrell said. “It’s not enough for young people just having areas of grey concrete to play on—they need diversity and be challenged mentally and physically. “So these kids have decided they want change and can do it themselves, crowdfunding and building their own caving facility.”
