Almost two weeks ago, everyone here at The Edge was running around like ‘headless chickens’ making lots of handmade gifts for the market! On the Friday night (the day before the market opened) there were about seven of us getting everything ready which included : ironing bags, pricing every item, packaging the gifts and even putting lavender into little bags to sell 
!!! Even after all of this, we all managed to get some sleep that night and be up bright and early to sell lots of our handmade gifts over the weekend!!
All ready to go
All throughout the weekend, there were lots of volunteers who helped out at the market! At some times we even had too many of us there, consequently we had to walk around the market and continuously buy chocolate brownies or curry….yum yum!!!! Anyway, (after getting distracted by the food) we had a very successful time at the market, and were able to publicise YES even more and tell more people about the excellent work we do here for the community!
During the day (Saturday) some of the young volunteers dressed up and were distributing posters for Pride in Brixham to tell as many people as possible about the lights being switched on that evening, as well as the fireworks and the fairground rides down by the harbour! Below shows a photo of a couple of the volunteers
Also at the market, Laura and Ntembe of The Tiffin Box, had their very own table and were serving some of their really delicious food (apparently all I did was eat that weekend)!! They had a few young helpers and were so busy both of the days which is excellent for them both! They were able to spread the word about The Tiffin Box, so no doubt they will be extremely popular over the next few months! Well done guys
Everyone at YES would like to thank all of those who helped us get everything ready for the market and those who were there to support us over the weekend! A huge well done to everyone we’ll definitely do it all again next year!!! x x x x
