Pens, pencils and paintbrushes at the ready ….it’s time for young artists to show their creative talents.
At East Cheshire Hospice we have put together a fun activity pack for children of all ages.
It’s available to download now at www.eastcheshirehospice.org.uk/activity-pack
The pack encourages children to colour, draw, write stories or even bake with adult assistance.
We are also running a drawing competition – closing date May 31 – to win a fluffy unicorn teddy.

We want people to share their creations with us via social media and tag the Hospice. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
Community Fundraiser Carley Macey said: “Rainbows are all the rage at the moment but it’d be great to see sunflowers alongside them in windows.
“We’ve had plenty of interest already in the packs and the average donation has been £4 per pack. ”

Young supporters are showing their craft skills in many ways.
Sophie Plant, aged 12, started a Facebook rainbow challenge and has led the way with a drawing on a rock outside her home which is close to the Hospice.
The Fallibroome Academy pupil, who has already raised £300 for the Hospice, said: “I love dancing and sport so am normally very busy and don’t like being idle. ”
Sophie wants others to post rainbow pictures via facebook.com/jane.taylor.9237244. To donate go to justgiving.com/fundraising/jane-taylor77.
Her family is hoping to get a celebrity to choose a picture in September which will be transferred on to canvas for display at the Hospice.
