Embrace the informal economy – we all have useful skills that are valuable to others.

 Are you great with kids?  Do you sew?  Love cooking? Handy with tools?  Botanist?  Keen surfer? Drummer? Swing dancer? You would be a dream for someone in need of: babysitting; mending; a home cooked meal; a house repair; a guided bushwalk or learning a new hobby.

There will be jewellery making, hair accessory making , sculpture building, library bag making, painting, customizing old clothes.. really anything that can be thought of!

Come along for a crafternoon style reuse of ‘trash’.
