Artworks raising funds for Magpie Project

The Newham-based charity the Magpie Project, which supports women and children at risk through poverty and homelessness, is getting a boost thanks to an artworks sale which launched in March.

The sale is the final phase of a three-year project involving Magpie and Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross, which was the venue for the first public art commission of artist Bethany Williams.

The artwork series launched on 16 March and exhibits can be bought exclusively on bethany-williams. com and all the money raised will go to the Bethany Williams Benevolent Fund, a special fund that will provide small emergency grants to those in need.
