This evening we returned to Building Futures (based on the banks of the Tyne, in Walker) to help transform a workshop to be used for a brilliant local project, "Stitch Sisters" It was exciting to see the transformation from our last visit! (Have a look at the photos)

Myself and Darren got there first, and we were met by the task owner, Rebecca. Everything was so organised as always with everything already set out (rollers, paint brushes and paint) We got stuck in straight away with Darren using the extended roller to paint up high.

We were then joined by Louise and Aimee and it was lovely to see Florence return for her 2nd good deed.

Louise successfully completed building Ikea furniture (well done!) whilst Aimee and Florence were also painting.

An hour soon flew by and it was time to pack away. I'm sure we will be back very soon!
