On the first day of the Easter Holidays Trinity partnered with The Scrapstore  to produce a day of crafting and fun in the sunshine for families from the local community.

This was a free event was generously funded by Scrapstore, giving families the opportunity to come and get creative in a beautiful setting with free recycled and recyclable arts and crafts.

More than 200 people came and enjoyed the activities in the garden that included a ‘cardboard city’ and ‘scrap-hat making’. Children had total free-rein to make weird and wonderful things out of cardboard with their siblings and peers, and some amazing creations were made including a go-kart and even a polaroid camera!

Trinity’s Nature Team were also on hand helping children make ‘fairy doors’ and ‘bunny ears’ from natural materials foraged from the Trinity garden.

There was a great atmosphere in the air and a real sense of togetherness as children of all ages played on the grass and made the most of the safe space and great weather.

The Scrapstore Team were fully immersed in facilitating the activities and making everyone feel welcomed into the space.

The session, that ran from 11am-3pm is something that we would like to bring back as a regular slot, so watch this space for updates and hopefully some more outdoor collaboration!
