🎄 Kids Make, Bake and Give - Wens, 18 Dec I 9am to 11.30am 🎅
‘Tis the season to share the love. Join us for a few hours of fun while we make and bake tasty treats, take a stroll up the road and give the goods to our friends who need them more. Leftovers? Fabric wrap and share at home.
🎄 Bangin’ Christmas Crackers - Thurs, 19 Dec I 9am to 11.30am 🎅
Are you dreaming of a green Christmas? Bring along your best jokes to make your own bangin’ Christmas crackers and craft sustainable decorations. After the festive session, you’ll be able to reuse or recycle. Merry Christmas Mother Earth!
🎄Furry Friends and Christmas - Fri, 20 Dec I 9am to 11.30am 🎅
What do fabric, insulation off-cuts and animals have in common? Join us to find out! During this fun-filled session, you will learn some sweet life skills, make toys and cushions from upcycled materials and donate them to our furry friends living in shelters.
