A couple of things have caught my eye recently that have one thing in common – they are ridiculously cheap or free, brimful of creativity and enthusiasm, and staged by volunteers.
This weekend you can put the finishing touches to your piece of art, ready to submit on Monday to the collective show of peacock philanthropy [...]
