We had an amazing time delivering during ‘Future People’

‘Future People’ focused on the Past, Present and Future and what heritage means!

Everyone had a great time creating their own future people against a Birmingham future themed background.

Participants stitched and coloured to bring their unique characters to life, with just a hint of Halloween inspiration creeping in!
