Mirius has a history of supporting a selection of our chosen charities, including Amber Lights. Previously, we highlighted how Mirius supported Amber Lights charitable work.
As part of their events programme, Amber Lights hosts art workshops for children aimed at raising awareness of homelessness. These school and community-based workshops provide a safe space for children to enjoy art whilst sensitively engaging with issues of homelessness in an appropriate way. Mirius is delighted to be involved with Amber Lights by funding the provision of art equipment for the workshops and providing additional products for the children’s benefit.
Some of the positive feedback from children attending the Amber Lights art workshops includes:
Quotes taken from children when asked what they had learnt:
“I learnt that it is better to say experiencing homelessness over homeless person”
“I learnt that homelessness is not forever, there is hope”
“I learnt new ways to help homeless charities”
Amber Lights connects practically with Homeless Oxfordshire, the UK’s largest not-for-profit provider of accommodation for people experiencing homelessness, by running workshops for children and the community to raise awareness of the important issue of homelessness. Mirius applauds the work and collaborations of Amber Lights and we remain committed to supporting and promoting both Homeless Oxfordshire and Amber Lights.
