LGBT group thanks Creative Black Country for support putting on creative events
A Wolverhampton LGBT social group have thanked the Creative Black Country after they received commissioning for a project.
Paul Ryder, co-founder and manager of LGBT+ Sparkle Wolverhampton said the support from Creative Black Country (CBC) and also from councillor for Penn, Celia Hibbert, has allowed the group to keep running.
The events, which are workshops where artist Sophie Handy helps to create artistic projects, are run over two days, with the first held on Wednesday, September 20. The second event will be held on Wednesday, October 4.
Paul said: "Our project was helped with commissioning by the Creative Black Country and we want to say a big thank you to them, and we would not have done this project if it wasn't for their support.
"The first event was held on Wednesday with Sophie Handy and we were creating light lanterns.
"The next event we will be creating picture mirror frames using natural recycled materials.
"The support has been amazing and our tickets sold out very quickly, almost like when Glastonbury tickets go on sale.
"I also want to give a massive thank you to Councillor Celia Hibbert, who prior to this CBC commissioning, gave us a lot of support and provided us with modest financial support.
"She has given us two donations to financially support us."
