We've been having lots of interesting conversations with a variety of organisations recently about training and the fantastic range of courses we can offer.

And the flavour of the month seems to be **Canva!** 🎨

Next week, we're heading to a school in Millom to deliver teacher CPD in Canva for Education, before spending the day helping young people get creative and discover what they can do with it.

We've also been chatting with Halton Chamber of Commerce about developing the perfect Canva design and marketing course for small businesses, helping them create professional, eye-catching content without needing a background in graphic design.

And we're delighted to be working in partnership with Cultivate in Halton to deliver **free Canva training for Cultivate members**, focusing on how to develop and communicate their personal brand.

Three very different audiences, three different approaches, but all using the same brilliant tool!

It's a great example of how we tailor our training to meet the needs of different groups, making digital skills accessible, practical and genuinely useful.

**If your school, business or organisation could benefit from some creative digital training, we'd love to have a chat!**

We’re now Autism Allies!🤗

A huge thank you to The Autism Wellbeing Project for taking the time to help us better understand autism, challenge common misconceptions, and think about how we can make our sessions even more welcoming and accessible.

The training gave us lots to think about, and we’re excited to put what we’ve learned into practice to make sure every young person feels supported, included and welcome at our sessions.

Thank you again for such an insightful session!

Is there a more perfect way to round off a project? 🎬🏆

This month marked the final session of our sold-out monthly filmmaking club with Cine-Window at Winsford Library, and what better way to celebrate than with our very own awards ceremony!

Over the past few months, our young people have explored all things filmmaking, from stop-motion animation and digital animation to special effects, green screens and more. It’s been amazing to see their creativity grow and watch the incredible ideas they’ve brought to life.

A huge well done to everyone who joined us and took part over the last few months. We’re so proud of everything you’ve created and loved celebrating your hard work and achievements!

We hope to be back in Winsford again soon and continue creating together! 🎥

Help us celebrate this month’s Maker of the Month!!🥳

This month, we'd like to give a huge shoutout to Hector for his incredible work at our Winsford Animation Club. He always brings so much enthusiasm to every session and creates amazing work, including the 3D pen mask he's wearing in this picture!!🎭

One of the most recent projects Hector contributed to was the Navigating the River Weaver animation, which debuted aboard the The Danny - Daniel Adamson a 1903 steamship with a unique story last week. 🛳️

Well done, Hector, and thank you for all your hard work! We hope to be back in Winsford again soon so we can keep creating together.

A huge thank you to Cheshire Archives for organising such a brilliant event to round off the project. It was great to come together, celebrate everyone’s hard work and watch the final animation. Safe to say, we all enjoyed our time aboard the Danny!
