We had our last Art Club lesson today of 2020 and we also had a Zoom running at the same time. We created greeting cards using watercolour techniques. @friction_arts @BBCCiN @ace_national

Sandra currently having her 1-2 hour weekly phone call with one of the young people from Art Club who has autism and won't do online stuff. She's done this every week since March.

Wonderful funders like @BBCCiN make things like Art Club possible. The Art Club staff make wonderful things happen for the C&YP at Art Club! Please donate if you can! @friction_arts #ChildrenInNeed

Just finished 'My Name is Leon' by @KitdeWaal + I imagine Leon as ‘The Boy with the Flag’ as photographed by @vanleyburke in Handsworth Park, alone with his bike. He's not a character I'll be able to, or want to, forget. Brilliant book. Fiction filled with truth.

We had a celebration tea party today! Lovely to see our families get into the spirit! We celebrated all the hard work our young people have done during lockdown and over summer! Thanks to Sally for allowing us to share this pic! @friction_arts @ace_national @BBCCiN
