We have teamed up with One Lottery to enables us to continue to develop and provide creative projects for our local community. With your support we can generate regular, sustainable funding for activities which some of our community rely on. This includes our brilliant Young Makers Club which runs on a 'Pay what you can' donation basis, ensuring that no-one is excluded because they cannot afford it. We aim to raise £1,200 which supports the club in providing 12 places for the next three months.
The Horsebridge Young Makers club is a weekly after-school activity where children participate in creative activities, learn new techniques and explore their own art style. The club is designed for all primary school-aged children. We have fantastic staff and volunteers who ensure that children who need a bit more support can also participate.

Please buy a ticket if you can and help more people engage in creativity. Details are on the One Lottery website.
