Children from Wimborne have been having great fun taking part in St John’s Church annual holiday club, ‘KidsVenture’.

This year’s theme focussed on the Christian idea of real transformation that can be found through God – including the need for things to change for the better in the way we care for our planet. So, as well as enjoying games, craft and Bible discovery sessions, the children helped to transform a small area of ground beside the church into an ‘eco space’, preparing it to be wildlife-friendly.

Kev Metcalfe, the church’s Children and Young Families coordinator, who headed up the week, said: “The children got really stuck in, building a bug hotel with natural materials, planting wildflowers to attract pollinators and creating a path to help protect the space. Insect numbers are in serious decline and we’re all hoping that this bit of transformed land will help them to thrive. Children also made their own crafts to take home to encourage transformation there too.”
