Sahista Patel
Sahista noticed the Active Wellbeing Society running activities outside the regular Stay and Play session she attends at St Pauls Children’s Centre. It inspired her to try some new activities.
Kevin Walsh
It’s the biggest turn out that I’ve seen for one of these events. It’s important because it gets people outside. It’s gets people interacting with animals. It gets people interacting with plants. It would have been a crying shame if this had closed down.
Jasmine Norris
Today has been really lovely. My two year old has been free and enjoyed it all. My little boy loved the music.
Elisa and Mimmo
Elisa, Mimmo and their daughter attended the Balsall Heath City Farm Spring Event in May 2019 where they shared their thoughts on the event.
Daniel Snook
I volunteer for plogging [jogging and litterpicking at the same time] and I thought I would come along to see what it was all about today.
Indusharma
Indusharma attended the Balsall Heath City Farm Spring Event in May 2019 where she shared her thoughts on the event.
I worked in Clifton School in the 80s. I think today is good because it’s bringing the whole community which is living here. The locals, all age groups are here. A lot of children don’t really see nature and animals and this is a chance. They are feeding them and touching them.
Neville Wray
If somebody had told me that one of the highlights of my year was going to be watching a lamb being sheared at Balsall Heath City Farm, I would have asked the barman to serve me whatever they were drinking.
Jan Burley
It’s a brilliant opportunity for bringing young people together and old people like me. I’m working with today with a young person with autism who loves music and it’s a really good venue for her.
