Our September volunteer of the month is our fantastic Wendy!

Wendy is our fabric guru! She spends hours sorting, cutting and organising any fabric that we have had donated.
She also has been a whizz in our stockroom making sure the fabric is all neat and tidy.

On a Friday you can find Wendy volunteering at our free drop-in and if she is not crafting, Wendy is helping, supporting and teaching others to sew and create fabulous things!

Thank you Wendy, we are really grateful for all that you do and we appreciate all of your hard work 🌟

🔴🔴🎨🎨PAINT UPDATE🎨🎨🔴🔴
PLEASE NOTE: Due to paint being dumped outside our hub again this weekend, we are unfortunatley putting a hold on ALL paint donations and for the forseeable future we will be unable to take any paint at either our Community Hub in Tennyson Road or at our Scrapstore in London Road South in Lowestoft.

This is a real shame as we love to reuse and repurpose any paint we recieve, but we feel we have no choice now due to the amount of unusable paint we are having dumped.

We have clear signage saying donations are to be brought to the hub only on a Weds and a Friday 10-2pm so that our team can then check any paint to see if it is in a useable condition. We also charge £1 per tin for any donations we accept.

Sadly there are massive costs to be able to dispose of any waste paint correctly and safely, so we have made the difficult decsion to pause any donations of paint from immediate effect.

Please keep an eye on our social media if anything changes.

Thank you for your understanding.
