Oh @Tesco this is just not on! I know it’s only 10p well 20p with club card but we already pay so much more for our son’s gluten and dairy free food! What do you have to say about this? #Allergies#glutenfree#dairyfree
Over the past few weeks, @carriereichardt has been busy in workshops with local communities to help us create the second mural of the Strong Women project!
It’s great to have both Carrie and Claire (@PLWorkshops) back making clay hearts with Strong Women of Knowsley. Last year, Carrie mentored Claire as part of Strong Women of St Helens and it’s so special to invite her back as an artist on this second phase of the project.
Want to dedicate a heart to a strong woman in your life? See our website to see where and when you can get involved in free public workshops!
