Merseyside Law Centre

 Big thank you to Sam from Merseyside Law Centre who trekked all the way from Leeds for a extremely informative two day training session around a number of housing issues including Housing Disrepair . The aim of the course was to develop further our knowledge and understanding of these very complex issues so we can sign post  members of the community who regularly approach GTDT for advice and support . We plan to further develop this new partnership arrangement with Sam and her team looking at a number of options of how we can support the community. Will keep you updated on our plans going forward .

 

Apple Day - Thursday 21 October

 Today is Apple Day and to celebrate we have a delicious recipe for an apple based dessert that can be made in the slow cooker!

Below is the recipe for the Apple Crisp that was a huge success with all of our previous Healthy Slow Food learners.

Antenatal care for Roma ladies

We have a meeting with the leader Lisa Marshall,  from Health Visitor Team -NHS. Lisa provide us some background how the number of failed encounters health visitors are having for antenatal contact in our area (Picton, Riverside, and Princess Park) especially with the Roma ladies.

Gtdt come together to tackle this issue and we will start to work with NHS Mersey Care from December to February, every Wednesday for two hours to encourage the Roma ladies to come for the appointments and to receive the service and the support that they need. 

Granby Adult Learning Service's Garden

GTDT have been busy the past couple of months working on a new garden down Granby Street.

The courtyard garden is part of Granby Adult Learning Service and GTDT have been asked to help reinvigorate the garden which will be used by the new learners of the gardening classes that they will be holding later on this year.

Watch this space for more information, we will keep you updated!
