The Craft Room is dedicated to sparking children's imaginations through free arts and crafts sessions. During school holidays and half terms, we offer exciting craft camps. These action-packed camps run for 4 hours and are packed with fun: Creative Crafts: We explore a variety of engaging arts and crafts projects, keeping young minds curious and hands-on. Active Play: We get moving with an hour of energetic physical activities, promoting a healthy balance. Nourishing Meals: A delicious hot meal is provided, along with education on healthy eating habits and tasty snacks, fuelling young bodies and minds. Our camps are completely free for children who qualify for income-related free school meals. This program is designed to support children who would benefit most from these enriching experiences. Our camps extends children's learning beyond the classroom with focused craft activities and the chance to use specialized equipment, giving children experiences they wouldn't typically find in school we want to spark their curiosity and innovate. Craft Activities we have provided so far: Diamond Painting Fimo Clay Sculpting Wooden Structures Assembling and Decorating Log Ring Wall Décor String Painting Decoupage Animal Objects Pom Pom Crafts Rock Painting Planting Sunflowers and much more.

In Partnership with Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Church we are opening a "My Local Pantry" to support local families in North Herts. We believe that nobody should go hungry. The Pantry is based on a Social Supermarket model where the community become members and for a small weekly fee they are able to shop at affordable prices enabling them to become more financially sustainable. We will also be offering debt, housing advice and other support services where needed. We will also have healthy eating/budget recipe cards available to help broaden food choices. We want to give away as much fruit, veg and nutritious food as possible. This is not a foodbank model but is a model aimed at reducing food insecurity. We will be open on a Friday from 2-4pm and Saturday 1-3pm and we will be operating in the Scout Hut in the carpark of the Catholic Church. We need plenty of fresh and chilled foods, flowers, plants, bread etc. "Best before" dates are fine but we can't take any "use by" dates. We are a registered food business and have corporate fridges & freezers to store the food.

We are a three form entry junior school with nearly 360 pupils based in St. Albans that was built in 1952. We are currently planning a re-decoration project involving the whole site so would welcome paint in plain colours and metal paint for railings as well as the equipment to paint. The school has not been decorated for a number of years. This would really improve the site, make it look cleaner and more inviting for everyone. We would also like some planters and garden accessories for a Sensory / Quiet garden that we are planning and seeds for the children to plant - sunflowers, flowers and vegetables. This would be a lovely project for all the children in the school to learn about and be involved in.
