Lorna from Blue Tyne Creative will be at the Heritage Centre with her wonderful pop-up stall selling a fantastic range of hand made arts and crafts, including Autumn and Halloween themed items.
Lorna is raising funds to purchase specialist sensory equipment for a special young man called Sam to support his transition into his new home in an assisted living space. Sam is severely autistic, non verbal and partially sighted. When Sam becomes anxious, sensory activities are used to help him feel more calm and distracted.
“Sam is setting in well into his new home care placement. With the funds raised through craft sales we have bought him various sensory equipment, including a bubble machine (which he loves), building bricks and he’s currently awaiting the delivery of a trampoline! We’ve also managed to book out a swimming pool for his use only as he adores swimming”.
Please pop down to the Heritage Centre to say hello to Lorna and buy some of the lovely hand-crafted gifts, all of which will help to support fund raising for Sam’s sensory equipment.
We also have our Folklore of Birds Walk and Upcycled Jam Jar Lights workshops – check out the separate listings.
