At the weekend I was reminded just how great Stirchley Library is, and how lucky we are to have it - and the wonderful community of volunteers that support it. We went for Storytots, which is for 0-5 year olds and on every third Saturday of the month at 10am, and every single Tuesday at 9.45am (I might pop to it tomorrow). Stirchley Library opening hours.
Cotteridge Park’s Couch to 5K programme starts up again this week. ‘The first Cotteridge Park C25k course was in 2016 - so come and join us for the 10th anniversary. There are 2 sessions a week with the wonderful Ranger Dean as the run leader - Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm. On Saturdays, there will be a 3rd "self-help group" session at a time you all agree on.’ More details/sign up via the Friends of Cotteridge Park Spring newsletter.

The next WM Social Economy Forum is taking place on Wednesday 25 March in Dudley, coworker Cheryl Jones (Grand Union) is a guest speaker. ‘This session will focus on trading for impact and how social economy organisations can build and scale sustainable income streams.’ more info on how to sign up to the forum on BSSEC’s website.
After the Stirchley Community Development news the other week, Loaf have got inventive (necessary) and are holding pop-ups at Verbena. They are there this week: Wednesday 25 March / Thursday 26 March / Friday 27 March 12-3pm at Verbena
Loaf also have a stall at this weekend’s volunteer-run Stirchley Community Market on Saturday 28 March 10am-3pm at Stirchley Baths. Loaf have an outside stall - which is in the car park round the back of the Baths’ building. Syiok Lah will be there too, serving up Malaysian street food. At the market you’ll be able to pick up Support Stirchley Community Development posters from Stirchley Printworks. More from Stirchley Community Market.
