Zinc Arts was proud to be part of Ongar’s Remembrance Sunday service this weekend.

Our students, Colette and Alex, represented Zinc Arts at the service, laying a wreath in honour of all those who have served and sacrificed.

Back at Zinc, our students and staff have also been busy creating a beautiful poppy display, bringing everyone together to remember and reflect.

We will remember them. ❤️

🌟 Girls Inspired – Week 1! 🌟

We're delighted to be bringing another 12 weeks of our Girls Inspired programme to students at The Ongar Academy, thanks to funding and the support of the Active Essex Foundation.

Week 1 was packed with fun activities, energetic games, plenty of laughter and lots of learning. It's been a brilliant start, and we can't wait to see what the girls get up to next week!

Watch this space for more Girls Inspired adventures! 🩷

❗️ We need your help❗️

Zinc Arts is creating a sea of poppies in honour of Remembrance Day, and we need your help to bring our project to life!

We’re looking for donations of red fabric to help us create our poppies. Have any old red curtains, jumpers, tops, bedsheets or other red materials lying around? We’d love to give them a new lease of life!

If it’s red, we’ll take it! Every donation, big or small, will help us make this project something special.

Thank you for supporting Zinc Arts and helping us remember. ❤️
