| Case Study |
|
Time 2 Trade has once again teamed up with organisational member Bridging The Gap to clean up a local Green Space. On Sat 27th August around 30 volunteers from T2T �Bridging The Gap�, and Charlemont Farm TRA (we even persuaded 2 local councillors to get their hands dirty) came together and spent the day clearing fly tipped rubbish from the green-space between the end of Bustleholme lane and Wyndmill crescent. The day started with volunteers meeting at St Mary�s Church at 10pm. We split into 4 teams and worked steadily until the clean-up was completed at about 3:30 pm. Time 2 Trade would like to thank all of the young people from Bridging The Gap who helped to make the day such a great Success. Andy Greenfield From Bridging The Gap explained what BTG is all about. � BTG was established in 2000 and in 2003 we became a registered charity. We are a Christian youth and Community Organisation based in the little chapel in Hargate Lane West Bromwich. We offer a wide range of activities to young people aged 5- 25 yrs ranging from a kids club for 5-11 yr olds to a coffee bar for young adults aged 15-25, and any T2T members who are interested are invited to join our coffee morning between 8:45 and 12noon on Thursday mornings. Our involvement in this clean up is part of our annual Faith in Action weekend�. Anyone wishing to find out more about BTG can visit their website at myspace.com/bridgingthegap or call BTG on 0121 5254442.
