Story
This year I am supporting The Mighty Creatives 2.6 Mighty Challenge!
Annually The Mighty Creatives support 1000s of children and young people living in poverty across the East Midlands. They challenge the issues resulting from child poverty by providing access to, and progression through, arts, cultural and creative opportunities their lives would otherwise ill afford. In short, The Mighty Creatives connect kids to culture so that they access vital resources and gain skills to find their creative voice and play their part in the world.
For the next 26 days, I am raising funds in support of the charity's Not Just a Box programme. The Not Just a Box programme supplies Let's Create packs, boxes filled with creative resources tailored by age to support children to get creative in their homes. Each pack provides vital materials such as paper, pens, paints, craft kits and digital tools - resources which they would otherwise have limited access to outside of education.
To inspire you to give some £££ to such an important cause, I am (dauntingly) going to be creating 26 paintings over the course of 26 days. (1 a day for the duration of the challenge starting on Monday 26th April 2021!) You can follow my daily progress over on instagram: @thehamthatdoodles (I'll also post updates at key points on this page!)
Please cheer me on by donating whatever you can and help children get access to vital materials to encourage their creativity and improve their overall wellbeing.
Thank you so much for your support!! x
