Pop Up Art Shop - Popping Up for Justice
Serenna MacLellan is raising money for Tearfund
Story
Hi! We are Serenna, Emily, Lynette, Hannah, Amy, Hayley, Jane, Hillary, Kaleidh and Amy. We are a group of local artists, who are all passionate about creativity, community and promoting justice. We have got together to share our creativity and raise money for Tearfund's life saving work in continuing to help people lift themselves out of poverty.
Together, on the 25th and 26th of June, we are running a Pop Up Art Shop, outdoor creative workshops and selling teas, coffees and homemaking in support of Tearfund.
The shop will be open from 10am - 4pm, at Blairskaith House, G64 4AX. All artists will donate 10% of their sales towards Tearfund's amazing work.
Fundraising, outdoor creative workshops are taking place on Saturday, where anyone is welcome to come and have a taster in various creative streams, explore and develop their creative skills, as well as having fun! If you would like to book for one of these sessions, here are the links to secure your place at eventbrite. Admissions are free, but we suggest a donation of £5 is brought on the day to contribute towards Tearfund.

Many countries are still struggling, as we begin the process of recovering from the Covid19 pandemic. It is crucial that we continue to help those most affected by the pandemic as they wait for a vaccine. Many people have been pushed further into poverty due to the economic impact of lockdowns, and they remain at risk from the virus.
Throughout the pandemic Tearfund have been working with churches and organisations in more than 50 countries to support the most vulnerable with emergency food and hygiene supplies. They urgently need your help to continue this life-saving work – before, during and after vaccines become available.
£1000 can train 70 church leaders to share accurate information about covid vaccines in their communities (SO needed in places like Tanzania where the government are telling their people that covid isn’t a real problem)
£1000 empower 770 households to lift themselves out of poverty through training in new farming skills (let’s say 4 in a household as a low estimate, that’s 3,080 people supported)!!!
By donating money, you will help support Tearfund's life-saving work across the world and in particular their vaccine appeal!
We are SO grateful for all your support in donating to this cause, but also, we’d love it if you could support Tearfund’s work in prayer as well!
