This place is so useful, it really is brilliant. Image from the Craft Barn Facebook page.

That there Lucy Wood from the Saxon Hill Craft Barn shop at Chasewater Innovation Centre has written to let me know that they’re currently seeking businesses that may have waste materials they’d be able to supply to the project instead of throwing away, thus reducing refuse bills for the businesses concerned.

The Craft Barn sells material for craft purposes, by taking clean business waste – everything from wooden crates to fabric offcuts – and using them to make great crafting materials for the general public to browse and buy – and it’s all really cheap.

It really is an Aladdin’s Cave.

This is a fine project backed by the remarkable and wonderful Saxon Hill School in Lichfield, and I’m proud to support it, too. In the seemingly harsh and uncaring world we currently inhabit, it’s nice to see that these excellent people still give a damn.

Community Project needs support

A Community Project is appealing to the Commercial, Retail and Industrial sector for support.
