Raising Money For SSAFA and The NHS....locally

Since January 2021

Proudly showing our appreciation for the NHS.

Making butterflies and daisies

Volunteers have been busy making colourful garden butterflies. Made of wood, painted up and ready to cover spaces in any garden......all profits go to SSAFA and the NHS, locally

Adding colour to any garden...on sale at our coffee mornings.

The range has grown considerably since we started, and we offer a repaint service to brighten up any weather-beaten items

Our Union Jacks and Toonion Jacks have proven to be very popular too. Our products have travelled to Scotland, Spain and Belgium in Europe, Arizona in the US, Vancouver in Canada, and to Australia

We've raised over £36,000 so far

Proudly showing our appreciation for the NHS.

 Many individuals have volunteered as painters and wood cutters, and we've bought a load of equipment so that work can be carried out on our premises. Get in touch if you'd like to join us

And we'll keep going

 Earth Balance at Bomarsund have offered us the use for their premises and equipment on a Wednesday and Thursday morning, 10am until midday. That means we'll keep producing through the colder weather...let us know if you want to get involved

Improving our facilities

 Ashington Town Council have given us a grant of £500 to purchase tools to help us with our wood project. We are extremely grateful for their support
