This week we have been delighted to deliver Cowshed Craft Activity Packs to 38 families with 97 children each receiving a pack.
The Cowshed is a charity which provides support to people of all backgrounds in a time of personal crisis. The aim of The Cowshed is to provide good quality cleaned and ironed clothes and other essentials free to anyone in need. The Cowshed also have a fabulous group of crafty crafters primarily set up to recycle items that aren’t suitable for passing onto their referrals such as bedding or damaged curtains. The fabric is made into bags that are filled with art, crafts, games and activities to keep children entertained and learn new skills.
Families were thrilled with the packs. One mum of three said ‘We’ve just received the craft packs. Thank you so much, they are amazing’ another said “Thank you so much! They are amazing and the children are very happy.”
Grace Green, Scheme Manager said “This is an exceptionally difficult time for families who are stretched financially and struggling to keep their children entertained indoors. These craft packs are a godsend and we are very grateful to The Cowshed for working so hard to create them and giving them to our families in need.”
