While working with TuksCivil and the Tuks Children's Trust, we hosted our first Sandwich drive of the year on 1 May.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated food, make sandwiches, and handed out sandwiches!

Planning on going home for the recess, but still have food left in your cupboards?

If you have any food left that won't be fresh by the time you get back from recess, please donate the food by placing it on the table in Ismarie's office so that it can be collected by residents in need.

We will be hosting a Food drive between 20 May and 13 June for residents to donate non-perishable food. For each donations received, Hatfield Studiso will match the donations.

There will be specific boxes set up where you can donate your food items.

At the end of the food drive, the food will be donated to students and charities in need around Pretoria.

The block that donates the most food will also receive a prize!

We are officially launching a Santa Shoebox Project at Hatfield Studios.

The goal of this initiative is to collect and distribute personalized gifts of essential items and treats for underprivileged children throughout South Africa.

You can choose to donate an entire box on your own, or just donate a few items on the list and we will combine the items into boxes.

Donations can be placed in the crate in the reception area, and will be collected until the end of August.

For the first visit, we went to a primary school in the area and assist the students with important life skills, such as budgeting.

We believe that this will have a huge impact on the residents, whether they realise it at the moment or not.
