Hello! I’m starting work on issue three of the kids magazine and am on the lookout for anyone who would like to be involved. You don’t have to have experience to contribute, just a love of nature and a passion for visual/written arts. Issue 3 I will showcase creatures that have bounced back from the brink of extinction. DM if you’re interested and I can email over further info!
Want to know more about this project? The SmartSquid Nature Magazine is a bi-annual, not for profit project with the purpose of encouraging children from all backgrounds, living in all areas of the UK, to connect with nature in some way.
I’ve saved a portion of profits from past collections, the magazine is available to purchase but the majority of copies are distributed for free through partnerships with various charities. FareShare South West have included the magazine in food packages to families, it’s also been sent to a children’s hospital ward, to vulnerable families across Bristol with the help of the Children’s Scrapstore Bristol, to children participating in holiday activities with Children With Voices Hackney and they’ve also been included in free packed lunches over the school holidays thanks to the Duke of Richmond pub.
There’s a highlight on the SmartSquid page if you’d like to find out more 🐝
