At our next session, we’ll be making lanterns with RT Minds, a wonderful mental‑health charity that supports people through creativity, art, and human connection.


To help raise funds for their work, we’re holding a raffle on Saturday 28th February, for a special prize pack including a RT minds T‑shirt, treats, and art supplies. Tickets £1. Your support would mean a great deal to us and to RT Minds




 

Our next meeting will take place on 28th February, right after the 5:00 pm Mass at St Joseph’s. This time we'll be playing games, share food together and also we’ll be making lanterns, as we’ve been invited to help create them for the upcoming Lanterns of Hope event at Crook Hall Gardens. On the 28th we'll be making the lanterns at RT minds, we'll all go together from St Josephs. And on 22nd March those who made lanterns are invited to join the event from 5:30 pm. In order for us to plan and to give you all the details we will be grateful if those planning to attend can send us a message to durhammartyrsparishyouthgroup@gmail.com   Looking forward to seeing you there.
