This spring students at Darrick Wood School have been getting creative with Oxfam. They’ve taken recycled fabric donated to Oxfam and have used it to make beautiful cushion covers that are now on sale at the Oxfam shop in Orpington. Just before Easter the students came down to decorate the shop window, drawing lots of interest from customers and passers-by.
The project highlighted the environmental impact of textile production and promoted recycling. Charlotte Flint, aged 15, said ‘I have really enjoyed doing this project. It has been fun and exciting designing and making my cushion. I like knowing I’m doing it for a good cause and raising money for Oxfam.
If you’re a young person, teacher or youth leader and would like to get creative with Oxfam, then get in touch with John McLaverty on 0207 802 9981.
