Coathanger Day – a fundraising triumph!

A full house of 10 participants in the morning and we were off to a flying start, fuelled with homemade cakes, biscuits and coffee. By lunchtime we had produced  a delightful collection of coathangers and tissue boxes. A three course lunch with a spot of wine and we were ready and re-charged for the afternoon session of 5 new enthusiastic people (with a special mention to Nigel – the first man who has come on one of our workshops) and three ‘finisher offers’ from the morning session.

Some highlights of the day are shown below!

We raised over £800 for the Friends of the Jubilee Pool towards its restoration. A big thank you to all of those who supported us – without their incredible generosity we could never have achieved such a sum! The Friends of Jubilee Pool have raised over 85K to date towards the needed £160K for the restoration project so we feel we have made a reasonable contribution from the humble coathanger and fabric offcuts!

Plenty of delicious food, much laughter and many keen to return for more workshops and lunches in the future – what better way to spend a day!
