LOCAL CAUSES
Working with Staffs Wildlife Trust
For the past two years, we have worked to raise money for Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. This has involved environmentally themed art exhibitions in our gallery, special events like gardeners’ question time, visits from Bike for life, and local beekeepers.
Morsbags
We’re a Morsbag pod, which means that we’re a centre for making these amazing bags from recycled fabric. Do feel free to come along and join us!
See below for some of our initiatives, events and exhibitions.
