A Big Thank You To The Sovereign Housing Association

The front of the Corn Exchange building (opened in the 1800s, it is an old and grand building with two large windows at the front and a wooden door in the centre). Above the building there is a clear blue sky. There is a  tree on the left with lots of green leaves and some hanging baskets are on a lamp post to the right of the building. The photo has been taken in the summertime.

We would like to say a big thank you to the Sovereign Housing Association for its generous donation of £1000.

We are pleased to announce that the Sovereign Housing Association has generously donated £1000 toward our project, Messy Stories, which was kindly match funded by Greenham Trust.

Messy Stories is a Corn Exchange Learning & Participation project for vulnerable families in rural locations and introduces young children (aged 1-3 years) to popular stories in order to develop their literacy skills whilst supporting their broader development through messy play. The sessions are delivered by a professional arts practitioner who will lead the literacy, music, singing and drama elements for the participants.

The aim of Messy Stories sessions are to support children's communication and socialization skills, develop children's imagination through dramatic play and improve family engagement with the creative arts as a tool for family well-being.
