Little Boxes of Joy for Northamptonshire

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead

We are The Wild Tribe, a social enterprise based at The Vulcan Works, Northampton - all our projects are free to the community and we are especially interested in reaching vulnerable communities who don't always have access to wellbeing and creative services. As a part of our eco festive offering (Junk Treasure Project Festive Edition) We are working in partnership with Library Plus to design, produce and distribute 1000 Little Boxes of Joy to vulnerable groups accessing services offered at Northamptonshire libraries.

Each box will include earth friendly materials for a meditative craft activity, a selection of self care gifts such as a book, bath bomb, letter writing set, also a gratitude reflection task, and finally access to our online Learning Hub. We will also include a range of resources signposting people to local warm spaces, clubs, and free activities across the county.

Isolation, loneliness and the cost of living crisis means thousands of vulnerable communities in Northamptonshire will be struggling this Christmas. We know we can't solve all of this with a box, but if this small gift can bring a smile or feeling of community connection to one person this year that is a small but mighty thing!

We are asking people to donate a minimum of £5 which will pay for the materials and printing elements for 1 Little Box of Joy. £10 will pay for 1 box in full. Every sponsor will be given social media tiles and a final impact report when the project is finished! We will also be asking local organisations to make larger donations to the project - please keep your eye on The Wild Tribe's socials to see updates!

Thank you so much for your generosity, it will really make such a difference!
