Weymouth Group worked with Katherine the sustainability officer from Weymouth council to create a beach waste sculpture that is being displayed on Weymouth promenade. The young people, youth workers and Katherine collected beach waste and turned them into colourful fish and ocean creatures which Katherine mounted in a fishing net to high-light the beach waste and the effects it has on the ocean. The young people called this "Catch of the Day". it was a great way for the young people to work with the local community, get involved in the environmental impact of waste on our oceans and to do some recycling! It also helps promote Space Youth Project to the residents and visitors of Weymouth. The installation got a lot of positive interest as it was being installed, with some interest in Space as well. The young people really enjoyed working with Katherine and Katherine enjoyed working with them

It was a lovely evening at Dorchester group as they had a picnic in the Park. The park looked beautiful and it was very peaceful with a lot of people enjoying the cool evening. They all shared their picnic food. The young people didn’t want to play games they wanted to sit and chat. They talked about all sorts from our favourite meals to bands and concerts and the importance of Pride events.
Lesley at Weymouth branch of Lloyds Bank contacted us as they wanted to help raise money for Space over Pride month. We went to the branch and set up a stall which Lesley kindly looked after for us. Over the period they raised £53.42 and Lloyds Bank have given us an additional £50 which is amazing! A huge thanks to Lloyds Bank of Weymouth for supporting the young LGBT+ people of Dorset
