The Art of Caring
Along with our friends from Birchwood House, we were looking forward to sponsoring the ‘Art in the Weald’ event in aid of the wonderful local charity Hospice in the Weald. Unfortunately, this has been postponed due to the current Coronavirus outbreak, and this has meant we have also had to postpone our spin-off event, ‘The Art of Caring’ which we were due to host in April.
Although both have been postponed, they haven’t been cancelled and we’re hoping they will run later in the year, but as we all know the situation is currently extremely fluid so we have no precise idea of when this may be.
You can see more details on the ‘Art in the Weald’ event here but read on if you want to find more information about the Art of Caring event and how you may be able to get involved.
The Art of Caring event is a spin off to the main event. We would like to extend the benefits of the main event through to our clients, the residents of Birchwood House as well as staff and friends and family by opening Birchwood House to the wider community where two local artists will be showcasing their skills. This will be an opportunity for you to see the home, meet our staff and see some wonderful artists at work. There will no doubt be cuppas and cake aplenty too!
We will be keeping our website updated with news on when this event will be taking place, but if you would like to register your interest in the event, or get involved then give us a call on 01892 863 710, or the team at Birchwood House on 01892 863559 and you will be the first to know when this event is back on!
