New Forest Young Parents groups - Christmas Party

Last Thursday, CB Participated in a combined Christmas Party for both the New Milton and Fordingbridge Young parents groups. CB have been working alongside the youth service, in supporting these new projects.
Over the last 6 months we have funded community artist, Kate Aughey, to run workshops with both groups, passing on practical sewing and home craft skills. These skills are now becoming very useful during the credit crunch, with members making custom cloth bags with block printed designs as christmas gifts.
For the Christmas party, we borrowed a full size Reindeer from St Albans Church in Swaythling, (many thanks), and the New Milton group painted a suitable backdrop, so that the children could have special Christmas photos taken with 'Rudolph'. The whole event was very successful and we were rushed off our feet, taking and printing out photos.
