During the Bank Holiday I was helping out at the Future Perfect music and arts festival down by the canal in Manchester. It was set up in 2007 in memory of Lee Wyatt, a 25 year old who lost his battle to cancer. Ever since his mum, family and friends have organised an annual festival featuring local bands and art and crafty things to do for all the family with all proceeds going towards The Christie. It was such a lovely event to be part of and it had a wonderful family feel to it. I strongly recommend going to it next year.
The themes were happy and healthy and I was assisting an army of kids decorate paper bunting flags with things that make them happy and these were strung up around our tent. We also made fruit to go on the "healthy tree" and our corner looked very colourful and vibrant by the end of the day. Here are a few photos:
