From this to that ….
What a project !!
To all the balloon artists following please read
Please read ….
Building the UK’s first Balloon Christmas Tree wasn’t just about creating something spectacular it had real purpose behind it.
1 To support local charities
We wanted to use creativity to make a real difference, raising vital funds for organisations that support families and vulnerable people across the Midlands.
2 To elevate the balloon industry
By purchasing stock from wholesalers and manufacturers, we aimed to give back to the industry that has supported so many of us showing its strength, its creativity, and its potential. (We were not sponsored or offered free balloons for this project) we used every brand in the market.
3 To show the world what balloon art is truly capable of
This project was designed to put balloon art on the map, to prove that it’s not just decoration it’s an art form. A skill. A craft with enormous potential that deserves to be seen, valued, and celebrated.
And most importantly…
This was never a “me” thing this was a “we” thing.
When the public look at the Balloon Christmas Tree, their first thought will be of their balloon artist, the person they know, love, and support in their own community. This tree represents an entire industry coming together, united by creativity, passion, and purpose.
We actually made it on ITV news showcasing the amazing 18ft The Balloon Christmas Tree !
If you have been following our journey you will know we are still massively behind on our target so my ask is, just £2.50 from each and every one of you in this group would be truly grateful and bring us closer to our goal.
Little did I know until the build week the whole team were members, so let’s stick together and help this project.
