Tower Power is a children and young people’s programme kindly supported by BBC Children in Need and 2021 saw us secure 3 further years of funding.
The project is based from the Tower Estate, Lincoln and uses outdoor and gardening activities to enable children to have more fun, develop pride in themselves and their neighbourhood and engage positively in groups. This helps with improving their connectedness to the community and nature around them while supporting their development, mental and physical health and giving them a wider experience of the world.
Learn more about our BBC Children in Need funded Tower Power Children’s Project from Brodi, our Project Officer and hear about the difference it makes.
Each week has a set of different activities that range from arts and crafts, gardening, foraging and games.
2024
Green Synergy currently have two groups running Tower Power, Family Zone and Youth Group. All our groups are free to attend, we provide snacks and water during sessions.
Family Zone is a group focusing on children between the ages of 4-7 but we are encouraging whole families to come along and join in, parents/guardians are required to attend. You are welcome to turn up on the day, all that is required is that you fill in a form to participate. Family Zone runs every Wednesday on Hillside Garden from 4pm till 5:30pm, during school holidays session will run earlier in the day from 1:30pm till 3pm.
Dates for the Diary:
Easter Egg Hunt: Green Synergy will be holding an Easter session for both Family Zone and Youth Group on the 3rd of April from 1:30pm till 3pm. There will be an Easter Egg scavenger hunt and some Easter crafts for everyone to take part in and enjoy.
Family Fun Day will be on the 7th of August, this will be a fun filled day with amazing externals such as Forest School, Circus Skills and facepainting as well as free food and activities run by the Green Synergy team.
Youth Group will be running once a month on Hillside Garden for 8-14yrs from 4-5pm, during holidays sessions will be held from 1:30pm till 3pm. To be able to attend these sessions you will need to book on to them, each session will have space for 10 children. As part of the process of booking on you will need to agree to the Tower Power behaviour agreement, you can contact Brodi to learn more about this. Once you have done this you will be messaged each month with the opportunity to book your child/children on to the session.
Please note that any session can be subject to change due to the weather or other circumstances, we try our best to remine outdoors but we may have to relocate the session to inside our office or cancel altogether. The team will put up notices in our office window and on social media and whatsapp messages if plans change. Thank you for understanding.
