We have had a great summer term with our young carers project! Using arts to promote well-being and community engagements, we have enjoyed learning to Lino carve, make creations out of clay and create our own playing cards. Recently we enjoyed making lanterns and marbelling for our all day summer holidays workshops! With thanks to National lottery community fund for making this happen.
