Fed up of hospital waiting lists? Apparently this fellow in Blackrod is sawing waiting times in half, has immediate availability and is only too happy to help! 🪚😱🤔

⭐️Its Volunteers Week!⭐️ Lets celebrate all of our wonderful local and not so local volunteers which a lot of events, clubs & organisations would not happen. Time is the most precious gift you can give to support another - it can be a few minutes or a whole day but you can guarantee it will always be appreciated. 🙏
Thank you so much for all that you do 😊💓

Buy one of our programs and you can find out all about Blackrod Art Group. Last year they created a scarecrow of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. Felling inspired, I got out my brushes and paints and with a little help from my friend Mr. A.I. I made the picture look as if Frida had painted it herself! 😉
