Neighbourhood Travelling Plate Workshop
The Neighbourhood Plate is about connecting with neighbours through random acts of kindness. The idea is to fill the plate with special treats and pass it along to a neighbour, then they do the same and pass it on to another neighbour. We supply all the materials to create a plate. And all you need to do is take it home, fill it with goodies, and pass it along.
