We think Farsley is something to be proud of. That’s why we recently joined forces with Springbank Junior School to work with a group of Year 6 children on cleaning up some of the many ginnels that run through the area. The group of 10 and 11 year olds gave up an afternoon of their time to lend a hand in their community by tidying up the alleys and pathways of their own neighbourhood.
This was just one of a series of opportunities we’ve been working on to get people involved with making the village look its best, and as well as the school we’ve been helped out by the local churches and parents.
Howard Bradley, FYDP’s Project Co-ordinator said that “It’s always great to see young people getting involved in helping out their community. From talking to people in the area we know that keeping alleyways and ginnels clear of rubbish can be a difficult task. But this was a simple idea that let us work together to make Farsley a brighter and happier place.”
FYDP has recently been working with people of all ages from the Farsley community to share some of their fondest memories of living in the area. And those people have put together a very special exhibition of giant photographs, showing some of their favourite times and places across the village.
Why not come and let them share their experiences and stories with you? The exhibition will be at St John’s Church on Tuesday 7 from 7.00pm until 9.00pm. Just turn up – the good news is that the event is entirely FREE! Over the course of the following week the exhibition will be open at various times – keep checking back on this web site for more details.
This project was made possible by the support of Leeds City Council’s arts@leeds programme.
FYDP is delighted to reveal the launch of its new radio station, Farsley Radio, set to start in March. The radio station will consist of a podcast,(downloadable here), and eventual Live streaming. FYDP manager Howard Bradley is delighted that the radio station will soon be up and running.
“This will be a great opportunity for young people to creatively get their voice heard within the community. We hope that there will be exciting music programs but also opportunities for young people to interview and chat with members of the Farsley community, of all ages.”
FYDP are looking for twelve members of the community to take part in an exciting film and photo project this March.
