Get into the festive spirit at BAJ: Winter decorations and mince pies in support of Crisis

November 24, 2021

The British Academy of Jewellery would like to warmly invite you to discover your next cherished seasonal ornament at our festive Wonderful Winter Decorations events, starting next week.

Earlier this year, we asked our highly skilled and imaginative students to design and create original winter decorations. The beautiful results of their creative efforts are now going on sale, with all proceeds going to support the important work of the national homeless charity Crisis.

Founded in 1967 as an urgent response to the growing issue of homelessness in the UK, Crisis works side by side with people to help them rebuild their lives. As winter can be an especially difficult time for people without a home, the British Academy of Jewellery decided to invite its students to use their skills to help make sure that this essential charity can continue its crucial work.

“The British Academy of Jewellery is proud to be able to promote the work of Crisis through Wonderful Winter Decorations,” said Sally Collins, Technical Diploma Coordinator at the British Academy of Jewellery. “Supporting the local community is one of our core values throughout the year, and this initiative is a timely reminder of the importance of this commitment.”

The public is invited to discover our Wonderful Winter Decorations on the following dates:

London campus
Thursday 2nd December and Tuesday 7th December
5pm to 7pm
The Hive, 26-30 Morley House, Holborn Viaduct, EC1A 2AT

Birmingham campus
Thursday 2nd December and Tuesday 7th December
5pm-6pm
British Academy of Jewellery, 1, The Assay Office, Moreton St, Birmingham B1 3AX

During these events, visitors will be able to view and purchase decorations, eat a mince pie and get into the festive spirit as we share the seasonal cheer. All decorations will be priced at £10, payable in cash.

The British Academy of Jewellery’s Wonderful Winter Decorations events are the latest in a long line of initiatives through which we continue to support our local community. Some of our most recent efforts have raised funds for vital organisations including Blueprint For All and NHS Charities Together.
