Charity Donations

I am keen to show my support within my local community and for national charities.  For the past few years I have been donating proceeds from the sale of items created from leather ballet slippers, kindly donated by organisations like The Royal Ballet and Opera or athe National
Theatre. I donate my time to create these accessories and jewellery and a portion of  sales are then donated to The Trussell Trust, the UK food bank charity each year. 

I also offer donations through art and craft giveaways to my newsletter subscribers and on social media.  I raise funds at in-person events, offering original artwork, as well as hand made books and textile pieces made whilst demonstrating in workshops.  I enjoy donating my teaching time to organisations and community projects. In the past I have volunteered demonstrations and talks to students for the educational project for Speakers for Schools. I also donate my time to teach MAKE Southwest Saturday National Club, and the Green Maker Initiative Sustainable Making in Schools project.
