Bexley Report written by Sarah W
This evening we did some crafting!
We gathered in The Nags Head pub in Welling, laden with rolls of colourful Christmas wrapping paper, scissors and rulers, and set about measuring and cutting out strips for paper chains. We then wrote jokes on them, ready to be sent to young people on CAMHS wards over the festive season.
This was all for a wonderful charity called CAMHS For Christmas. And in case you were wondering about the jokes, they were all supplied by CAMHS, with strict instructions not to add any of our own!
Of course, you'd like to hear some of them, wouldn't you?
What do you get if you cross Santa with a detective? Santa Clues!
What do Santa's little helpers learn at school? The elf-abet!
What's green, covered in tinsel and goes "ribbet, ribbet"? A mistle-toad!
We hope the jokes will make everyone chuckle (or groan) as they turn the strips into paper chains. We certainly enjoyed reading them as we copied them out!
It was a lovely, chilled hour of chatting, crafting and volunteering. Such a nice way to spend an evening.
It was also great to have Pam with us. Congratulations on completing your first GoodGym task!
Next week will be something completely different as we make our monthly visit to Holy Trinity Lamorbey Primary School. Can't wait to find out what they have in store for us - come along and join the fun!
