New suppliers for Godly Play materials in the UK
We are delighted to share details of new providers of Godly Play materials in the UK: Jennyruth Workshops, Sew & Grow, and Micah68. We will be posting more information about ordering from them over the coming weeks.
Godly Play UK and Jennyruth Workshops in Ripon are delighted to announce their partnership in the production of Godly Play materials. At Jennyruth, adults with learning disabilities are encouraged to work independently with self confidence. The materials are responsibly and ethically sourced taking environmental needs into consideration. These values are at the heart of Godly Play. Initially, Jennyruth Workshop will be launching a limited range on their website, which they will add to as soon as stock is made. If there are specific resources anyone would like that are not available online, please do contact Jennyruth Workshops. As soon as we have an online launch date confirmed, we will let everyone know.
In other good news, Micah68, headed up by Ian White, sources beautiful hand-made Holy Family sets for Godly Play from Bethlehem Fair Trade Artisans, which seeks to promote the principles of fair trade and to empower local Palestinian craftspeople. To buy an olive wood Holy Family set is to have a piece of Bethlehem in your hand! For more information, email whitejian@aol.com.
