Hi, so I'm Andy Ellison,
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I'm the minister of Northfield United Free Church,
0:15
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
just at the corner of Deansloft Terrace in Kettershills Road,
0:19
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and this is our annual barbecue.
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
It started off just as a church thing,
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and then we opened it up to the community a few years ago.
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
It was more like a church picnic,
0:30
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
but on our own grounds,
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and just over the years we've just invited the community in.
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
but this this year we do have a pride in place grant which we're thankful for
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
because yeah we have enough to cover the food etc but
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
to be able to hire the bouncy castle have the gazebo there just in case
0:49
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
some especially our older folks if it gets too too warm there's a
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
bit of shelter there and just to be able to purchase games etc and just to see
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
the kids and families and people of all ages having fun it's just
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
a delight
1:03
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
Describe the scene,
1:04
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
what we've got in front of us.
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
Well,
1:06
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
right in front of us,
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
we've got the barbecue and we're both smelling the burgers getting cooked.
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
But we also have chairs out where families are just having meals.
1:15
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
We do have games.
1:17
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
We've got a giant Jenga.
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
We've got a large connect force,
1:20
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
wine balls and archery and other games.
1:23
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
And we do have a soft play pit and a bouncy castle here.
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
And inside we do have some crafts,
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
so if anybody's wanting to go inside or just
1:34
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
need a bit of quiet space,
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
especially for children.
1:37
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I'm always thinking of ASN children as well,
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
so just a quiet space if they want to go in and do some crafts for a while.
1:44
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
How important is an event like this for the community?
1:48
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I think it's really important.
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I don't think there's enough in the community to bring the community
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
together and that was why we first opened up when we started
1:58
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
having our own barbecues opening up to the community and
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
it's really been great the last two or three years.
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
People have been turning up,
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and this year we did put out some leaflets with the Pride in Place advertising
2:12
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
into the local schools,
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
etc.
2:14
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
And it's great to see some of the pupils that I work with in the local schools
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
where I'm chaplain here today.
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
And also to have the friends of Orchard Bray with us.
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I'm chaplain to the school,
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and it just helps them with a bit of fundraising as well.
2:27
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
And actually,
2:28
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
maybe just throw one last one in.
2:29
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
If you had a magic wand,
2:31
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
what would you bring to this community?
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I think if I had a magic wand,
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I think it would be more stuff for young people.
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I think there's a real lack of things for
2:44
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
young people.
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
There is good people in this community doing things all
2:49
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
over the place.
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
Maybe something that we could all work together jointly with as well and
2:54
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
actually help,
2:55
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
especially with the resilience with some of our young people and to
2:59
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
give them something to do.
3:00
S… Speaker 2 (andy transcribe)
What makes Northfield special?
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I believe the community.
3:06
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
My own call to ministry came in Castle Milk in Glasgow when I was doing
3:10
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
some volunteering with an organisation called Teen Challenge
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and we had a minibus in the community that had
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
a wee cafe at the back of it and we just used to talk to
3:22
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
families etc and my heart really is for communities like this
3:26
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
and I think for me it's really just been a case
3:30
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
of that
3:32
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
Yeah, I just,
3:33
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
it's the people.
3:34
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I think the people,
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
sometimes Northfield gets a really bad reputation and it's always the
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
negative aspects that get highlighted,
3:42
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
especially in the press.
3:43
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
But there's a lot of good people here and there's a lot of good people trying to
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
make this community better.
3:48
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
And that's why I love this community.
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
It's just, I swear,
3:53
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
if I was to use an expression,
3:55
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
it's where my heart is in a community like this.
3:59
S… Speaker 1 (andy transcribe)
I knew when I came to preach here for the vacancy that it was going to be here.
