Brushstrokes Sandwell

Thank you Mandeep for your kind donation of clothing today.

Many thanks to Sarb Singh for a very kind delivery of children's books. These are being given out to children in our community cafe today.
Sarb also mentioned that the Sikh Guru Nanak Gurdwara on High Street, Smethwick serves free lunch (langar) to anyone in need on a daily basis and that everyone who attends in a respectful manner is welcome to participate.

Dear Friends, Brushstrokes is now desperately in need of children's clothing (all ages) as well as men's clothing sizes small and medium. Many thanks

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to two of our staff members this autumn. Megan and Blanka are leaving Brushstrokes for pastures new. Megan goes to Sandwell Council as their new Housing, Outreach and Research Officer whilst Blanka leaves for the stunning greenery of Herefordshire in her new role as PA and House Manager. We are sure that both ladies will have every success in their new roles and we wish them every happiness. Thank you for doing a great job at Brushstrokes! (L-R) Megan, Blanka, Carol and Lorraine
