🍁Autumn Wreath Making🍁
Another amazing evening, full of creativity and people coming together to create beautiful things.
The gorgeous Kate from Botanic Possessions delivered a wonderful autumnal wreath making workshop at Cwmavon Village Hall
Every penny from the event goes towards providing mental health provisions in Torfaen, in the forms of counselling, wellbeing activities and events.
We recognise mental health isn’t 9-5, so we ensure all provisions are run in day, evenings and weekends.
