Big thanks to Funders
We were delighted and just a little surprised to receive a positive response to our bid to the Leathersellers Foundation – this is not a simple process and the window of opportunity is only open for a very short while! Bravo for our success! The Foundation has given us £5000 towards our core funds enabling us to continue to offer a service free of charge.

Events
Christmas Cheer
Differing slightly from our usual work, we were surprised and happy to be invited to contribute to St Marks C of E Newbys’ Christmas Tree festival.
Clients and Therapists all contributed in some way to the unique – possibly idiosyncratic decorations. Every decoration was made by bits and bobs scraps and remnants in the studio, reminding us it is not about money but about the value found in relationships, and at times in the bits cast aside. We were pleased to find ourselves sited between Faith in Scarborough Schools, ( FISS) and Westway Open Arms, both organisations we have links with. Thanks Carol H for organising this event.
