💛 People & Practice | … we have a slightly bizarre request! please share
, you have yet to fail us, so today we're putting something slightly unusual out into the universe... ✨
Over the past few months, our little area has had quite the glow-up.
Previously, the extra goodies available to clients were displayed in an assortment of crates. They did the job, but they involved a fair bit of rummaging and weren't necessarily the easiest or most dignified way for people to see what was available.
Then came our with the help of Bryce Joinery. 🛍️💜
Inspired, somewhat randomly, by my niece's little market stand and made possible thanks to funding from Trussell, we now have a gorgeous mobile stall where clients can browse and choose additional items to take home alongside their .
And we LOVE it.
It's more organised.
👀 It's easier to see what's available.
♿ It's at a much better height for browsing.
💜 And, most importantly, it feels much more in keeping with the welcoming, dignified environment we want to create.
Choice, voice and time can show up in the smallest of details.
But... our little market stall isn't quite finished yet. 👀
We'd love to give it the full market-stall treatment with a fabric canopy/awning - something colourful and welcoming that puts the finishing touches to our new set-up.
And this is where our slightly bizarre request comes in...
🧵 Are you handy with a sewing machine?
✂️ A keen sewer, crafter or textile whizz?
🪡 Or do you know someone who loves a slightly unusual sewing project?
We have a budget for the materials - what we're missing is someone with the skills, creativity and know-how to help us turn the idea into reality.
So, , we're putting this one out into the universe...
Can anyone help us finish our little ? Or perhaps you know exactly the person who could?
Please share this one far and wide. 🙏 You never quite know whose newsfeed it might land on.
If you think you could help, drop us a message or get in touch with the team via [email protected]
Let's see if the power of the can work its magic once again... ✨💜
Love from 🫶
