A big thank-you for the big
attendance on Sunday to see ‘Grow Your Own’ and thank-you for the home-made
cakes that helped to raise £38.30 to keep us going beyond our grant.
The film showing included raising awareness of
Manchester’s Hate Crime Report Week and more information can be found at http://www.report-it.org.uk/home and take a look at the LGF’s ‘Enough is Enough’ campaign
highlighting homophobic hate crime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6OkOxSH4_s
‘Grow Your Own’ raises many issues
around community cohesion, community groups and wellbeing. The character of
Kung Sang used his connection to nature and nurturing his plot to begin to
rebuild his shattered life, whereas Eddie found the allotments as a source of
friendship helping with his loneliness. More simple ways to improve your
well-being can be found by following the link, including attending your local

Finally, on Sunday 17th
February the film showing will be themed to the Chinese New
Year celebrations. More to follow soon including an after film showing discussion and social at a nearby pub...watch this space!
