There's no I in Team, but there is in Bridge!

Over the last 3 months a group of students led by our Student Support Worker (Samm Conforti) have been working with the staff from Fair Shares Community Time Bank in completing activities within our diverse local communities. These have included making planters for a local church, renovating the polytunnel at the Fair Shares community allotment and contributing to the renovation of the City Farm site.

Students have thoroughly enjoyed the challenging activities, friendships and rapport that has come from working with peers from differing social groups.

Students have been commenting on the project so far and these have included…

Because of the project I have gained an understanding of woodwork skills and teamwork skills. I have also had fun doing tasks such as carrying stuff and building stuff. I also enjoy spending time out of the house.

Because of this project I have made more friends, and it has given me more confidence to talk to people.

Because of the project I have learnt more about working as a team and I would like to do this again because it was really fun.

Because of the project I was able to build my confidence to talk and interact with other people.

Because of the project I have understood better teamwork skills and got a better understanding of tools.

Because of the project I feel more independent. I am confident and comfortable talking to people and communicating. I am able to communicate what I need to do and what I need help with. I feel more confident in my own abilities and feel my skills in team leading and teamwork have improved.
