Our June Charity – Rowan Humberstone Cambridge
Excerpted from SEEK:
Our charity this month is Rowan Humberstone Cambridge. Rowan is a remarkable charity, supporting adults with learning disabilities through creativity, nature, and community. Based just across the river in the De Freville area of Cambridge, Rowan has provided a welcoming and inspiring environment since 1984, where people can build confidence, develop practical and aristic skills, form friendships, and express themselves creatively.
The charity offers workshops in ceramics, woodwork, textiles, printmaking, drama, music, movement, and forest school activities. More than simply teaching creative skills, Rowan focuses on each person’s strengths and potential Small group sessions allow students to work closely with tutors, take part in exhibitions and community projects, and gain a real sense of achievement and independence. Rowan also plays and important role in reducing loneliness and offering support and respite for families and carers.
If you would like to support Rowan Humberstone’s work, donations of any size can make a real difference and help ensure this valuable community resource continues to thrive for years to come.
About Charity of the Month at St Mark’s
Charity of the Month was created as a way of coming together as a church community to raise money for good causes. The scheme provides ongoing support to certain organisations, and each year members of our congregation are also invited to suggest charities that they would like to promote.
