For those of you who have been to a recent meet up you would know that
over the course of the next month we will be working with one of our
lovely Brown Owls members Lara on crafting beautiful items to help raise
money for the Leukaemia Foundation, specifically for the
Myleoproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) trust fund within the Research Trust
of the Foundation, an important area of research on a rare group of
diseases.
You can help out by coming along to a meet up in the next month to make beautiful crafty things or to donate pre-loved books and handmade items for a Mother's Day market stall to help raise money. Read on for all of the details!
