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.

This food will be provided to people who declare they need it. There is no formal criteria. We will also provide food and recipes bagged ready for families who are in urgent need. The pantry will open Monday 1-2pm, Wednesday 1.30-2.30pm and Saturday 11-12 noon. The Saturday session is to enable those who are working to access the food.
