Crafting at Christmas

13 December 2021

News

With December in full swing, we're loving seeing so many festive arts and crafts sessions taking place across MacIntyre. As part of our countdown to Christmas, we’re sharing just some of the ways we have been getting into the Christmas spirit.

Many of the people we support, including people from Derbyshire, Buckinghamshire, Cheshire and Oxfordshire, as well as students from MacIntyre School and Children’s Homes have been creating paper tree decorations, Christmas cards for their friends and family and even making Christmas trees from card, complete with a little sparkle.

We all know that a huge part of Christmas is the food! Seen creating a festive feast were Sarah and Becky, who we support in Warrington.

Oxford Lifelong Learning have been busy in the kitchen, combining Christmas with an classic Italian dish, pizza!
