The Together Time group are planning on joining Handforths scarecrow festival, taking place over the Easter weekend (18th-21st April).
Lots of Handforth businesses and homes will also be taking part and we will be competing for a prize – last time we came 2nd!
We were wondering if anyone had any spare hay or straw they would like to donate to us before we go out and buy some.
We would appreciate any donations at all and ask if they could be dropped off at the Hub before Tuesday 15th April.
Make sure to look out for our scarecrow outside the TOG Hub next weekend 🤩

Drama Drama. Did you know we have fun drama sessions in Sandbach running across three Tuesdays of the month? They are run by a leading performing arts tutor.
Recent quotes from members:
"At the first session I felt nervous, but I have now met lots of new friends."
"I didn't realise how much work went in to acting and things like making adverts. We have learnt about how you can warm up your voice and speak with confidence."
