Another Makers' Market
23 November 2024
This quiet market, initially disappointing, offered our young creators invaluable lessons. They learned that running a business means not always earning a profit, a tough but crucial reality check.
However, their perseverance paid off. By staying until the very end, they secured a last-minute sale, demonstrating that sticking with it can lead to unexpected success.
Furthermore, they showed remarkable adaptability and initiative by approaching other stallholders. This taught them to think outside the box and find alternative ways to engage and succeed, even fostering community through craft swaps.
Ultimately, this challenging day provided a powerful real-world lesson in resilience, resourcefulness, and the importance of never giving up, skills far more valuable than just making a sale.
Our First Market Day
21 September 2024
Our community gathered for a fantastic market day! It was a wonderful opportunity for our young people to showcase their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
We were incredibly impressed by the variety and quality of products on offer. From handmade crafts to books written by our talented young authors, there was something for everyone. The young vendors worked hard to attract customers and promote their wares, and their efforts were rewarded with plenty of praise and support.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the market. Your enthusiasm and generosity made the day a huge success. We look forward to hosting more events like this in the future.
Congratulations to all the young people who participated!
