This evening our Silver Duke of Edinburgh group have been joined by ladies from the local ExtraCare Village. Over the past few months the Duke of Edinburgh group have been busy making Cobblers gift cards and place mats and the ladies from ExtraCare have volunteered hours of their own time cutting out extra photographs of the Cobblers players from old match day programmes to help boost the production of the stock. The ExtraCare ladies visited the Study Centre to join the Duke of Edinburgh group to see what they have been making with all the cuttings.
The signed gift cards and place mats are being sold by the Duke of Edinburgh group to raise money toward a Shelter Box that will be sent to Haiti. The fundraising will form part of their Community Service section of the award.
What a fantastic example of cross generational learning! Well done to everyone concerned. Val and Helena
