Pakistan Independence Day Celebration

Ravensthorpe Community Centre celebrated Pakistan Independence day on Wednesday 14th August. Over 150 people attended and were able to enjoy, arts & crafts, mehndi, entertainment by Creative Scene, and delicious food.

Read below for what was carried out throughout the day

The amazing Get Set Goal team attended the Pakistan Independence Day event and carried out health checks. Here are some of their results:

Altogether they carried out 62 health checks and detected 5 people with abnormal results, these people were given advise in line with their protocol.

Out of the 62 people who took part 35 people answered positive to struggling with their mental health and were signposted to services to support them with their mental health.

10 people completed the strength and balance test and 6 of those flagged as being below average for their age and gender and were signposted to services to support them.

 

We also carried out creative activities such as arts and crafts, mehndi and more to bring people together in celebrating Pakistans Independence 

 

Young people and families enjoyed Scrumptious performance by Creative Scene.

 

 

 

 

Sculpture Project with Donna- Creative Scene

Over the Summer holiday, we worked with Creative Scene artist, Donna. The young people visited Yorkshire Sculpture Park with their families and Donna, for inspiration which led to them creating their own sculptures.

 

The project was aimed at young people aged 5-16years old, and engaged them over four days:

 

Day 1-

Workshop with Donna around taking inspiration from what we see around us.

Day 2-

Supplied with clipboards paper and pens we went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park to take inspiration from sculptures.

Day 3-

Back at Ravensthorpe CC using what we drew, and remembered we made our own sculptures.

Day 4 –

Painted to finish our masterpieces.

 

Some of the masterpieces created by young people:
