Congratulations to the pensbury Street Krew for winning two Volunteering awards from Evolution.

The group have been meeting NOW for some time since the 1st art workshops back in 2006 they have worked hard to collect the views of local residents and young people and put them into the deign of the park.

They were nominated by Lisa from Groundwork for the 2008 Volunteer awards at Evolution and they won two categories, Partnership working and the young peoples award, for all the hard work they have put in to the Park project.

"The Pensbury Street group have come together and worked really hard for the park, sharing their ideas,listening to others in the street and I am really pleased that their efforts where recognised with the award"

"The Pensbury Street residents should be really proud of them and their achievements and all the hard work they have put into designing the entrance feature, by doing this they are setting a good example as young people and giving the street a voice"
