Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) Forth Valley’s “First Time for Everything” Project is holding a free Intro to Crochet event on Monday 4^th July, 1pm – 3:30pm at Coorie Creative Makers Ltd, Marches Mall, Thistles Shopping Centre, Goosecroft Road, Stirling, FK8 2EA.

The event will be led by Alison Mayne, Knit, Crochet & Spin Tutor at Coorie Creative, and attendees can make their own crochet square coaster to keep, or contribute to a group bunting creation. All participants will go home with yarn, and their own crochet hook to continue creating at home.

The First Time for Everything Project is a collaborative between RVS and the People’s Postcode Lottery, providing people with opportunities to try something new for free in their local community, and is aimed particularly at those aged 55 years old and over, or who have underlying health conditions. The activities available support physical and mental health and wellbeing, and digital literacy, “because staying active and social have been proven to be important to keeping fit and well as we age”.

Lights refreshments will be provided free of charge at the event; booking is essential.
