Current appeal:
"Create with Clay" for learning disabilities

Following the tremendous success of our “Create with Clay” program for our amazing SEND community, funded through a grant application, we are approaching the end of these funds. We are committed to continuing these wonderful sessions into 2025. If you share a passion for clay and would like to support our Create with Clay SEND sessions, we would be incredibly grateful! The annual cost to sustain all aspects of this program is £5,000, so any assistance would be appreciated not just by us, but by the entire SEND community.
