Crisp Packet Project
Every Thursday, from 2pm until 5pm, we host the crisp packet project in our Southbank hub. Since starting this project, it has helped supply homeless people in our community with insulated sleeping bags, blankets, pillows and many more items.
What You'll Do:
You will be creating sleeping bags, blankets and other items to help keep the homeless and struggling individuals warm. These items are given out at our free market stalls to anyone who requests one.
This process involves taking empty crisp packets, cleaning them, overlapping the foil with other crisp packets and fusing them together using an iron and a sheet of special paper. This is done repeatedly until you end up with the finished product.
Why You'll Love It:
You'll love this because it's very practical, involves arts & crafts and contributes towards a cause of helping people.
What You'll Learn:
You'll learn how to create your own crisp packet items and use that knowledge to share with others. This may highlight the perspective of how much some homeless people struggle on a day-to-day basis.
What We're Looking For:
We're looking for people who enjoy arts & crafts and enjoy working in groups. We also want people who are passionate about helping others.
