Our increased focus on #communityengagement has been about making visiting spaces & #volunteering easier. Smaller projects created in partnership with organisations already working with specific groups of people are essential, alongside accessible tools and working areas. Let us know your thoughts:

This group grew out of our partnership w/ Psychosynthesis Trust - Exploring Anxiety. At the end of a 10-week course, we found some participants keen to do more, but needing a bit more support before joining a volunteer group or training. These new sessions are a creative way of building confidence!

Reflecting on our experience, those looking to address #unemployment, particularly among younger people & those w/ additional needs should work hand in hand w/ industries, focus on barriers to entry, often cost/location, & demonstrate the broad range of roles available.

Our Future Gardeners course was designed with industry experts and focuses on removing barriers to entry so people can follow explore an outdoor career whatever their background. 76% of grads secure jobs or further training: www.bost.org.uk/future-garde...

Almost, we've only engaged with a very specific audience on there recently. It's a toxic place nowadays, it's not great for people to see all the negative, violent posts as part of their working day.
