Enable activity to restart Bring communities together Funding will ensure people feel safe participating
After lockdown, the brownies needed to replenish their dried craft supplies to create Christmas cards for care homes locally.
The microgrant was used to purchase new materials and make cards and decorations for a local care home and valentines packs in February, enabling the Brownies to return to new materials following lockdown restrictions and keep doing creative community service.
“We were able to restart brownies face to face with new equipment which had dried up during lock down.” - Lead
“All residents were so delighted it made their day. Please pass on our sincere gratitude and thanks to all the brownies and let them know they put a huge smile on the residents faces.”
LEGACY: The brownies plan to meet with the older people in summer and are looking for creative support to prepare a display for Queens Jubilee.
