Great news to start the New Year for Howlands. We have just been awarded £9,400.00 from the Lottery Community Fund to help fund our Repurpose Project.
Which means we can go ahead with so many exciting things.
We have an amazing “up-cycling” project that will jazz up your junk.
Turning something old into something new to breathe new life into that much loved piece of clothing our project is starting on the 20th February.
Just come along to Howlands to find help and inspiration with a friendly warm welcome.
Just take a look at this gorgeous cross stitch sampler produced by Julie Vogel.
Julie is so pleased with her efforts that she is giving it pride of place on her lounge wall at home.
It certainly deserves to take a spot in the limelight, and what better place to put than in her own home.
Can’t wait to see what masterpieces come out of our next sessions!
We’ve seen a lot of Jubilee themed cakes and buns over the past couple of weeks, but none as stunning as these!
Taken from our week of Platinum Jubilee activities to mark 70 years of Her Majesty the Queen’s Reign, we used our creativity to create a Jubilee theme, and don’t they look good.
Led by our very dedicated volunteer Julie, all cakes and biscuits were hand decorated by Howlands members to mark the event.
This lovely photograph perfectly illustrates members, staff and volunteers looking forward to the Jubilee festivities, and one of the delicious cakes.
What an amazing time everyone had at our recent 70th Anniversary Concert at Earlsheaton WMC.
Four fabulous singers and a surprise visit by “Mrs Brown” made the event very entertaining.
With all the help we received we rasied a fabulous £1700. Amazing result!
Thanks to everyone who supported us and made it a very enjoyable evening.

We will be celebrating our 70th.
Not to be missed! Howlands Charity Concert 70th anniversary event.
Save the date, Friday 20th May 7.30-11.30pm for this not to be missed Howlands event.
We are gradually returning to normal at Howlands.
Recently members joined Julia Fenton in decorating cakes with an animal theme.
You may say that they look too good to eat !
But I am told they taste delicious………
Take a look at this photograph of Stan, one of our volunteers, playing our barrel organ to raise much needed funds in the Centre of a busy Dewsbury.
This picture was found whilst looking through our archives to prepare a display for our Platinum Jubilee which we will celebrate later this year.
We will look back on the formation of the League back in 1952 and how it has developed to what it is today.
