📣 Go Well Trails Week 4 Leaderboard! 📣

Congratulations to St Charles Catholic Primary School who are steaming ahead at the half way point - will anybody catch them?

Shout out to Springmoor Grange School who have increased their score noticeably this week.

Also, Victoria Jubilee junior parkrun , with such as good score we've chosen to include non school groups on the leaderboard! Which also brings the General Public into play!

Remember you don't need to be part of school or community group listed to take part, you can be part of the General Public or play solo and not represent a group at all.

Don’t forget to visit our current exhibition, Echoes of Her North: The Quiet Architects of Our Communities.

Echoes of Her North explores identity, place, and female strength within a northern landscape, this exhibition celebrates the women who helped shape communities across the North East. This exhibition gives voice to those who have been underrepresented, while honouring the women who inspired change, passed down knowledge, and influenced who we are today.

This exhibition also provides you the opportunity to get creative and celebrate the women who have influenced and inspired you! The Mnemosyne sculpture is an ongoing project, which is designed to grow with the exhibition. We welcome you to come along to our Makers Space, where you can create your own fabric panel which will later be added to the garment. In addition, artist Jayne Blacklock, will be running community workshops on Friday 24th April and Monday 11th May. More information for these workshops will be available soon.

Come explore, reflect, and be inspired by the echoes of strength, artistry, and identity woven throughout the North. 💜
