Story
Our very special ARTventurers Charity Week is taking place w/c 16 June 2025 and we'll be having tons of fun across the country to raise money for some amazing local charities!
As always, we ask our customers to take part in our Painty Footprint Challenge and ask for sponsorship to see how many footprints your little one can make in 1 minute! For charity week, our classes will have a Sports Day theme which is perfect for the challenge!
This year, we will be raising money for a very important local charity, Edison's Light. This amazing charity was setup by a wonderful family in memory of their son, Edison, who was born prematurely and sadly passed away just 24 hours after his birth.
One of the hardest things they found was explaining to their older son why the new baby he was so excited to meet, wasn't coming home. Resources are available for grieving parents but not so much for siblings, so they setup this very important charity to bridge that gap.
The funds raised will go towards creating sibling support packs to help families when they are faced with miscarriage, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), stillbirth and neonatal death. Each pack contains a bear and resources to help support children with and through their grief. There is also a range of books, which the families can choose from to best support their individual circumstances.
