Aloha Box

4.1m children live in poverty in UK. AlohaBox’s mission is to sustainably source surplus art materials and create art kits to support vulnerable kids #ArtForAll

3.7m children live in material deprivation in the UK. This makes art+crafts an unaffordable luxury. We're on a mission to create 3.7m boxes bursting with creative/art materials for those vulnerable children without access at home #CognitiveDevelopment #finemotorskills #ArtTherapy

hello Twitter we’ve not done many updates on here. Since we launched, we have sent over 400 aloha boxes to kids in need across the UK. We’re not done yet but just wanted to say thanks ~ couldn’t have done it without your support. Thanks a million x

[Aloha Box @alohaboxproject]

@missgeog92 Hi Laura - we're recycling & repurposing art materials for children living in material deprivation in the UK to support boosting activities+fun during difficult long holidays. We would be so grateful for any material donations which will go to deserving homes #ArtForAll

[James McTaggart @JamesEdPsych]

Children starting school this autumn don't need to be "ready" ...

But some families worry about having missed time in #earlylearning, etc

We (some teachers, S&LT, OT, EP) have made some posters to try & help focus on play & fun - not tasks & worksheets
