🎅🎁 THE TAGS HAVE ARRIVED! 🎁🎅

The tags are here, the printing has arrived and our little elves are officially getting to work! 🧝‍♀️🧝‍♂️

We’re now busy writing and sorting thousands of tags ready to distribute them to our amazing drop off points, as we get everything ready for the launch of this year’s Secret Santa Appeal! 🎄❤️

We’re incredibly proud to be working alongside Bradford Bulls Community Foundation for the first time this year, and would like to say a huge thank you to Eureka! The National Children’s Museum and Fresh Futures for their continued support as our main drop off points across Bradford, Kirklees and Calderdale.

And a very special thank you to D Walsh & Son Funeral Directors for sponsoring the printing of our tags this year and for also offering to become drop off points across the appeal regions. More details on these locations will be coming very soon! 🎁

The elves are busy, the tags are ready and Christmas is officially on its way! 🎄✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Home Educator Day last week! 🌍

We were delighted to welcome the @fairtradeofficial, including cocoa farmer Dora Atiiga - who led inspiring workshops, sharing what life is like as a cocoa farmer in Ghana 🌱

Thank you also to our friends at @coopuk for showing us the journey of cocoa from farm to shop, teaching us how to spot Fairtrade products, and why they matter 🍫 taken in Halifax by @eurekamuseum

Today we went to the Home Education day @eurekamuseum We had a fantastic session on fair trade and learnt how cocoa beans are traded in Ghana we met a lady who owns a cocoa bean farm and found that she would get 1 bar per kilo of cocoa beans and how climate can severely affect her harvest.

We also spent the day exploring the museum and learnt all about the human body.

We finished our session by making some fair trade bracelets.

I would highly recommend @eurekamuseum for a fun day of interactive learning.
