Community Tapestry During the lockdown and cold winter months, we launched an at-home tapestry project with the theme "family walks and community." Our volunteers put sewing packs together for local families to illustrate their favourite community spaces, walks, and the things they see and experience outdoors. The finished piece hangs proudly at CVL for everyone to enjoy. Family Fun Over the last few months, our 6 Thorntree, Brambles Farm, and North Ormesby families have enjoyed their time together in the forest.

Volunteers Supporting Their Community Our volunteers helped us make do-it-yourself Christmas wreath packs. They sourced and collected the local willow, berries, and bendy branches and delivered them with instructions to the community. North Ormesby Academy and Corpus Christi Pupils at both primary schools have been enjoying their weekly BAE sessions. Well done to everyone for completing your first BAE award! 01642 989254 @BoroActiveExplorers hello@communityventuresteesvalley.org #discover #create #beactive #havefun Middlesbrough's Intergenerational Calendar 2021 Our BAE's featured in Middlesbrough's Intergeneration Calendar. Did you manage to get a copy? All care homes in Middlesbrough received one, and a copy went into all food parcels throughout December with a BAE leaflet. Community Walks Our local volunteers began planning and designing walk maps before the 2nd lockdown. They are looking forward to meeting as a group to plan the final stages of the walks and deliver them to the community. Outwood Academy Our newest school joining BAE is Outwood Academy. They have been busy creating a school garden and bottle top collage! Easter Activities This Easter holidays was filled with lots of exciting outdoor activities.
