Christmas with Fairview Park AOP group

THe group had a lovely final art event of 2014 with some painting, lots of gorgeous food, and the creation of a group work.

 They then donated the work to the group home of one of the members. Don't worry we have plenty more large works planned in the New Year to decorate the communal areas of the three blocks of flats.

Huge thanks to The People's Health Trust who have made the past two years of events possible.
The project funding is now coming to an end, but the group is going strong and will continue for the foreseeable future.
The group meet in Fairview Park Community Centre, Sherbourne Avenue, Halewood and is open to all local residents.

Many thanks to all those who have contributed, and to KHT who provide the space for their residents and tenants to meet and mix with each other and other local residents.
