Thank you to everyone who took the time out to do a spot of knitting for the Tree Cozy Project at the Family Fun Day at Westminster Park a few weekends back.

It was a glorious day, the sun stayed out for us the whole afternoon, and the enthusiasm from the local community was amazing!

Thank you , and enjoy the photos...

Crewe Family Fun Day

This Saturday is the perfect opportunity to join in on the Jubilee Gardens Tree Cozy Project.

From 12 - 6pm this saturday (23rd July) ArtYarn and the Tree Cozy Project group will be on hand to teach you know to knit and crochet so that you can learn a new crafty skill and contribute to the project. If you can knit already you'll be invited to contribute to the project, and you could also offer your skills to the community by teaching a few skills yourself!

There will be plenty of materials to use, we'll have a range of patterns for you to look through and you'll be able to see some of the creative knitting and crochet thats already been made for the project.

See you there!

THE TREE COZY PROJECT NEEDS YOUR VOTE: 

The Tree Cozy Project has been shortlisted for The Jubilee Peoples Millions 

Please ring 0871 626 88 32.

Calls cost 11p and you can ring up to 10 times from the same number.

The Tree Cozy project seeks to connect over 2000 people of all ages and backgrounds in the making of a vibrant piece of public art within Jubilee Gardens, Crewe. Older people will work with all ages of the community to deliver workshops in schools, community centres, residential older people’s homes, ethnic minority groups, and people with learning and physical disabilities, to create knitted tree sleeves, lamppost banners, and tree plaques.

The legacy of the project for future generations to enjoy will be a wrought iron archway, and railings, and the production of an animated film that will educate a younger audience about our environmental responsibilities. A grand Mad Hatters Tea Party will showcase the project and celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in style. The project aims to reach over 8000 local people.
