Meet the Crafter

I can't believe that market day has come around so quickly and the fact that it is our birthday market too.

This month I have decided to hold some interviews with a few of our stall holders. First check out the Glen Eden Play Centre.

Did you know that the kitchen at the market is run by the Play Centre, raising money on a monthly basis. So here a little about them and work they do.

Tells us about the Play Centre and what it offers?

Playcentre is an early childhood education service, run cooperatively by member families, offering a nurturing learning environment for children. The emphasis is on child-initiated learning and the importance of whanau/families as the first and most important educators of their children. Glen Eden Playcentre is open on Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings’ from 9am, come along for a free visit to find out what all the fuss is about!

What do you sell at the Market?

As our major fundraising exercise, we run a cake stall at the market selling a range of home baked goodies made by the families of Glen Eden Playcentre. This month we are going to foray into some comforting winter foods including hot soups and toasted sandwiches, along with our yummy baking.

     Who comes to sell at the market?

Volunteers from our Playcentre families come along to sell the goodies.

Who are your products made by?

The families of Glen Eden Playcentre.

So you have been coming for a year now. How much money have you raised for the Play Centre?

We have been lucky enough to raise over $3000 in the past year through our cake stall at Handmade Titirangi. 

What does the fundraising at the market help pay for?

100% of the money raised goes towards buying new play equipment for our centre. Just recently we have bought two new Tredsafe boxes to add to our playground climbing equipment. The kids love them!

Our wonderful kitchen ladies will now be offer hot food from including warm winter soups and toasties along their usual yummy treats. So come support our Glen Eden Play Centre.
