Today Rebecca and Anna have been gathering textures, colours, surfaces and patterns of the street for some colour fields we will use in a book we are writing. It’s so interesting to slow down and pay attention to the street and all its different layers. We observed mosses, lichens, paint peels, plants, furnace waste made into walls, brickwork and many other surfaces. More about our book soon.

Starting today! The Portland Restaurant Project with chef and artist Alex Norcop 🍴🥒🌽🥙🍅🌮🍴
This year long project is a collaboration between Alex and our youth club members, who will lead on the menu design, themes and mission for the restaurant each season. Workshops and research trips will take place across the year so that each seasonal meal is completely unique and responsive to the season and the young ppl who take the lead with Alex. There will be lots of skills learned across the project, from foraging to food prep, hosting space and more - always trying our best to work with local, seasonal produce. Alex joins us for this project with a whole host of knowledge an expertise as a chef and artist.
Today’s scoping session for young neighbours will make a start on working with youth club to gather ideas and dreams for the restaurant 🌱🙌💚

Alex says “Hey I’m Alex, full time chef and part time artist. Wholeheartedly passionate about food, nature, community and social change. Most happy when out in the wild foraging and learning, working with sustainable produce or at a punk gig standing at the back. So excited and honoured to be working with The Portland Inn Project.”

Thank you for hosting our team and other interested folks for accredited Carbon Literacy training today. Beautifully held by Aileen in the Whirligig Woodland. We finished the day with some clear actions to reduce our organisational carbon balances, but importantly that this be alongside other measures to support biodiversity, embed nature care and sustainable approaches to how we organise across our projects and programme. Highly recommend this training for other organisations and individuals 💚🌞💚

Good morning Stoke 🙌✨🌱💛 A beautiful start to the day for our women’s running and walking group. We’ve been going for four weeks now, open to women from the neighbourhood and each week a different neighbour has joined us.
We’ve explored Festival Park Woods and Central Forest Park. Both provide an oasis within a short walk from our neighbourhood - and are so verdant right now 💚.
This morning we looked out to the city and thanked the landscape for its trees, water and pipes (Sandra loves a shower).
Swipe for an impromptu photoshoot inside the three giant potholes of Portland Street. We’re looking forward to the fix soon, as promised 🥲🙏

Really productive Saturday with the Youth Board! ✨

We had our scoping meeting with artist and are excited to get things underway.

Mike has been contracted by the Youth Board to create a unique identity for the group, alongside a range of posters and marketing materials to help promote upcoming projects and amplify their voices in the area and throughout Stoke.

Looking forward to seeing the ideas come to life and sharing the journey along the way! 🙌
