Hi pals, I’m Cassi.

I set up PROJECTS a few years ago- for a number of reasons, mostly because I’ve always been excited and proud of the huge collective of creatives here in Winchester- and wanted to provide a hub where local people could sell their wares, network, meet, and learn new skills. Nearly three years on, through (and not quite out the other side) of a global pandemic... I’ve learnt a little more about what‘s important to me.

I’m sure i’m not alone here.

I was very lucky as a child- living with a single non-working parent to receive free school meals. (It was all about the puddings....yum!!!!)

As an adult I still count myself lucky to be able to do a job that I love, and still put good food on the table everyday.

Coronavirus has hit us hard, as a business...but nowhere near as hard as it has hit many others....I still think we are very lucky.

So its time to do our bit- to step in when others haven’t. We will (whether we raise our target or not) offer free lunch bags to ALL school age children Mon-Fri during half term. We will do this anyway- but could really do with your help.

Anything you can pledge to help us towards our target will be very gratefully received.

Biggest virtual hug, Cassi and The Projects Team xxx
