Arts and Crafts Doonfoot After School Services (DASS)
No comments Ayr South & Villages
We are seeking support for Arts and Crafts materials as we have none anymore. The objective is to engage the young people at our service using their creative expression, support their artistic skills, and utilise the arts skills of our staff to benefit our pupils. We used to have materials but the service nearly closed due to rising costs. We increased our fees, cut our staffing and had to ask parents of our young people to bring in scrap paper from home so they could draw.
