Celebrating Creativity, Community, and Charity!
Our Summer Arts and Crafts stall was a fantastic success, showcasing the beautiful handmade crafts created by our Life Skills students. The event not only highlighted their creativity but also aimed to support a cause close to their hearts: the Children's Ward at New Cross Hospital, a charity chosen by the students themselves.
Students and staff worked together to organise the event, with generous donations of gifts for a tombola that helped boost our fundraising efforts.
A big thank you to the Move On: Engaging with Independence and the Community students who supported on the day:
Morning: Aaron Randhawa, Andrew Beardsmore, Carole Butlin
Afternoon: Abby Burgess, Matthew Harper, Emsy (Emerlene) Michaels
These students gained hands-on experience in money management by handling payments and giving change, while also building their customer service skills through engaging with visitors and welcoming future Life Skills students.
We're proud to share that we raised £55.10 on Saturday, and an additional £46.50 during the Maltings Open Day.
We noticed the busiest time was during enrolment (10:30 am - 12:30 pm), when the energy and excitement brought a steady stream of visitors through the door.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event - your kindness helps us make a difference.
