A Spooktacular Day at The Craft Room’s Halloween Camp! 🎃👻
We’ve had a fantastic day at The Craft Room’s Halloween Camp, filled with spooky crafts, brilliant costumes, lots of creativity and, of course, plenty of Halloween fun!
The children got stuck into all sorts of activities throughout the day, from sewing and painting to gluing, sticking and creating their own spooky masterpieces. There was plenty of mess, lots of imagination and some fantastic creations to show for it!
A Spooky Parade and a Brilliant Buffet! 🕷️
One of the highlights of the day was our Halloween fancy-dress parade. The children looked fantastic in their costumes, and it was lovely to welcome parents along to watch and cheer them on. Thank you to everyone who came along to support the children and help make the parade so special.
We also enjoyed an amazing Halloween buffet, which went down a treat! A huge thank you to Asda for generously donating food to help make this possible.
Providing food is an important part of our work to tackle food poverty and make sure children have access to nutritious food and enjoyable experiences, regardless of their family's financial circumstances. We know school holidays can put extra pressure on household budgets, so being able to provide food alongside our free activities helps ease some of that pressure and means children can enjoy the day without families having to worry about the extra cost.
Thank You to Our Wonderful Supporters ❤️
Events like this don't happen on their own, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone who gives their time, support and generosity to help us keep The Craft Room running.
A big thank you to our volunteer Janet Broadhurst for giving up her time to help with the camp. We really appreciate your support.
We also want to give a special mention to Ruby Calvert from Oaklands College, who joined us as a young volunteer. Ruby used to attend The Craft Room as a child and has now come full circle, returning to volunteer her own time and help the next generation of children enjoy the same opportunities. We think that's a pretty special thing, and we're so pleased to have you involved!
Thank you to Lynn Chesterman, our Chairperson, Alan Chesterman and Michael Devall for popping in to see our charity in action. It's always lovely to welcome people along and show them what we do.
Finally, a massive thank you to Warren Vehicle Sales and Roxy Laing Ltd, whose generous donations help ensure we can continue running this event year after year. Support from local businesses makes a real difference, helping us keep activities free and accessible to the families who need them.
Making Memories, One Craft at a Time 🎨
At The Craft Room, our holiday camps are about more than keeping children busy during the school holidays. They're about giving children a place to be creative, try new things, spend time with others and enjoy experiences they might not otherwise get the chance to have.
By combining free activities with food provision, we're working to tackle food poverty, reduce the pressure on families and make the school holidays a little easier for those who need extra support.
Days like today are only possible thanks to the volunteers, supporters, local businesses and families who get behind what we do.
Thank you to everyone who played a part in making our Halloween Camp such a success. We've had a brilliant day, and we're already looking forward to the next one!
Happy Halloween from everyone at The Craft Room! 🎃🧡
