This Valentine’s season, we were delighted to collaborate with Project Connect to deliver a special Galentine crafts event celebrating friendship, connection and creativity.
Hosted at City College Norwich, the session brought young people together to create beautiful handmade flowers using pre-loved fabric. It was wonderful to see everyone connecting, sharing stories and getting creative in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Project Connect is a youth-led initiative co-produced by four 18–25 year olds in partnership with EP Youth and Norfolk County Council. Their mission is to tackle youth loneliness and isolation across Norfolk by promoting connection, visibility and opportunities for young people — through shared spaces, skills building and real community. We’re proud to support such an inspiring programme.
