FOUNDATION CHRISTMAS CARDSFor the last few months the Kevin Cruise Foundation has been working with local artist, Siobhan Tilley of Happy Days Studio, to create a beautiful new card to help raise money this Christmas season.
Not only has this watercolour painting been created and kindly gifted, but the print & production costs of these cards were generously funded by the Rotary Club of Maidenhead Bridge. Because of this, 100% of card sales will go towards purchasing pantomime tickets for sick children & disadvantaged families, children in care & hard-working volunteers in the local area this Christmas. Martin Cabble-Reid founded the charity last year and had this to say about the card. "We wanted a Christmas Card that embraced everything we are about at Christmas: theatre, pantomime, children, festivities and lots of colour. We are over the moon with what Siobhan has created and can’t wait to share the joy with everyone!" The cards will be available in packs of 10, including envelopes. They will be available to buy at this October's Charity Gala, then online through the Kevin Cruise Foundation website. "I was delighted to be asked, to design a Christmas card for the Kevin Cruise Foundation," says Siobhan. "It is such a wonderful charity and working with Martin, has been an absolute pleasure and lots of fun! It’s a lovely feeling to know that something I have created will help raise money for the Kevin Cruise Foundation, which in turn, will put smiles on so many children’s faces."

Forest Bridge School - Term 3
Wednesday 12th June we started our new workshop and this term it's...PUPPETRY! A whole new class will learn this wonderful art form. Children will learn to co-operate when working in small groups and to produce their own puppet play including jokes, song, acting and dialogue. This is a great way to introduce performing arts and gaining self-confidence to the children. We will be introducing finger, hand & string puppets with the children making their own sock puppets for a final performance in a few weeks.

Forest Bridge School - Term 2In May we continued our work at Forest Bridge School, Maidenhead. This was our second term of workshops and we taught the Maple class magic tricks over a four week period. In the last week they performed the tricks they had learnt and the whole school was treated to a show by local magician, Magic Mark. We gifted the school the magic tricks for future use.
Congratulations to everyone involved. |

Forest Bridge School - Term 1In February we started our Young People's project at Forest Bridge School, Maidenhead.
We have supplied & funded a teacher for a six week workshop to teach elements of performing arts, once a week with children that have special educational needs. The children also learnt to play musical instruments which we gifted to the school at the end of the six weeks. Here's a few pictures of the children (parents permission obtained) with their before and after t-shirts of many colours. In their final performance they will sing songs from the musical, Joseph. |
