CAKE POPS 🧁🎂🍰🍥🍭

We had roughly 0.003 seconds to photograph these pops before they were inhaled. 10/10 would do it again.

Our EPICs have been back at it, serving lunches for the over 50s at the Kindle Centre. 🍽

If you have need of an Energetic, Positive, Informed and Creative group of young volunteers, you know who to call! 🤙

It's always a pleasure!!!

Want to know something crazy⁉

During World War I, an estimated 250,000 boys aged 19 or under enlisted in the British forces. Many underage recruits lied about their age or provided false names. The youngest known British boy to fight in WWI was Sidney Lewis, who enlisted at 12 and fought at the Battle of the Somme at 13!

Today we remember these individuals who died putting themselves on the front lines for the good of their country, their family and their community. It hits heavier remembering that each one was someones child or their sibling or best friend with dreams and doubts and hobbies.

Can you imagine what it would have been like to spend a day in their place?
What would it look like for you to fight on the front lines today? What kind of sacrifices could you make for the good of your community?

Check out the Christmas decorations we made in Saturday's needle felting workshop 🎄🎅❄️⛄

These will all be available to buy along with our handmade Christmas cards and our Close House branded playing cards at the Youth Christmas market at Maylords on the 6th December ♣️

A big thank you to Callum for a very well prepped and planned workshop 🥇

We spend around £15 a week on fruit so our young people can enjoy healthy snacks for free 🍎🍊🍌

This is just one small way your support helps make a difference at Close House - keeping our space welcoming, healthy, and full of life.

If you’d like to help with our weekly shop, you can drop a Tesco voucher through our letterbox, or donate via the link in our bio.
Thank you for supporting our young people! 💚

Christmas card production was in full swing on Saturday 🎄

This might be the first time we've hand-made 300 of anything - Good thing we had the dream team in the House 💪

Our cards will be available to buy at our stall at the Youth Winter Market at Maylords on Sat 6th December. Every penny you spend helps us do what we do best - supporting young people.
