Welcome to The
Straw Patch Project
The Straw Patch Project CIC is a not-for-profit organisation which offers a safe outdoor space to nurture wellbeing and positive mental health to benefit the local community by providing support and small group sessions. We believe that providing a regular, structured activity outdoors, making the time to listen and talk can really make the difference to a positive mental outlook. The project is run and managed by Alex Straw and Sarah Pedlar and is based at Strawfields.
Workshops to help support us
We will be offering a variety of workshops throughout the summer to raise funds to enable Straw Patch to continue to support our local friendship and loneliness groups, to bring people together to garden, chat and of course share tea and cake! Please see the list of workshops available below, all proceeds will go towards the project and your support will be greatly appreciated.
Straw Patch Pasta Workshop
Have you ever made your own pasta? Come and join us for some summer fun making pasta with our very own Straw Patch sauce. Small group sessions for children to make the family a lovely homemade pasta supper, just heat and eat later. Come and have fun making your own own homemade pasta with Straw Patch sauce. Mums and Dads, just think a day off cooking, let the children make and prepare your pasta supper, enough for the whole family to enjoy together.
