Twenty-five members enjoyed a lovely sunny day at Hatfield House and gardens. After coffee on arrival in the Conservatory we walked through the grounds, passing a beautiful fountain and sat on the steps of the House.

In a heartwarming effort to brighten the festive season, The Arts Society Appleby is delivering 55 specially created "art bags" to the Appleby Food Bank on Thursday, December 19th.

"This initiative, known as the Eden Art Bags Project, aligns perfectly with the society's motto, 'Bringing art to all.'"

While Cumbria is renowned for its stunning landscapes, many families face financial hardship. In the Eden Valley alone, over 70 children rely on food banks, reflecting wider statistics of poverty across the county.

The Winter Conference this year was a valuable opportunity to spend the whole day working with Artist, Teacher and Graphic Designer, Becks Flint.

The course was designed to:

• Enable Teachers to make exemplar materials suitable for use with fine art, graphics, photography and textiles.

• Enable teachers to create exemplar materials to inspire individualised learning.

TAS Arden use their Community Grant to support a local young film maker and director.
