It&#8217;s a time for family, home, and creativity, and this workshop brings all those things together.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;It&#8217;s a wonderful opportunity for businesses to come together, have fun, get creative, and support two fantastic local organisations at the same time.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The workshop will take place at Oxford Wood Recycling in Abingdon on Thursday, November 19, and is designed as a festive alternative to traditional team-building activities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Participants will work together to create Christmas decorations using reclaimed pallet wood and Annie Sloan paints.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Most of the finished pieces will be sold through both charities&#8217; shops to raise further funds.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Beth Marsh, director of fundraising at Sobell House Hospice Charity, said: &#8220;We&#8217;re delighted to be partnering with Annie Sloan and Oxford Wood Recycling for what promises to be a truly memorable event.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;This event offers businesses a fresh and engaging team-building experience while helping to fund the specialist care and support that Sobell House provides to patients and families across Oxfordshire.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We&#8217;re looking forward to welcoming teams from across the county and seeing a little friendly festive competition along the way.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The event follows the recent success of the Paint Everything workshop at the Sobell House Bicester Superstore.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Funds raised will support both Sobell House\u2019s hospice care and the environmental and employment programmes delivered by Oxford Wood Recycling.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Adrian Sell, chief executive officer at Oxford Wood Recycling, said: &#8220;Oxford Wood Recycling is all about giving materials a second life, encouraging creativity, and supporting our local community.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled to be hosting this event alongside Annie Sloan and Sobell House Hospice Charity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;It&#8217;s a fantastic opportunity for businesses to step away from the office, work together in a different environment, and support two organisations that make a real difference locally.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We can&#8217;t wait to see what teams create and who comes out on top in the challenge.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Businesses interested in taking part can find out more and reserve places through the Sobell House Hospice website.\n<\/p>\n<p>#Christmas #charity #workshop #launched #Oxfordshire #firms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Led by paint expert and Sobell House ambassador Annie Sloan, the Christmas-themed corporate workshop is a collaboration between Sobell House Hospice Charity and Oxford Wood Recycling.
