For a donation to the Yorkits project (which helps to change girls’ lives) RYA is providing basic garden-trellis shapes which, by a creative use of waste materials – such as polythene bags, bubble-wrap and plastic cartons – can be used by people to make their own unique angel sculptures
The Eco Angels project also makes reusable cloth gift-bags with angel motifs as well as providing a creative-activity leaflet with templates for children: ‘Make Your Own Little Angel’.
The Yorkits kit lasts each girl for up to three years, giving them access to health, hygiene and uninterrupted education. These Kits Change Lives! Further information on Yorkits can be found on the RYA website, which also gives details of other community-based projects, volunteering and fundraising opportunities. You can donate to Yorkits here.
