PUTTING Redditch on the front page, a new adult colouring book celebrating the well-known landmarks in the town – including the Redditch Standard – is now availabel to buy.
On sale from St Stephen’s Church, the Service Desk in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre and even on ebay, the book features landmarks in and around the town including St Stephen’s, The Palace Theatre, the Water Tower and Forge Mill.
The project was born when Redditch Town Centre Partnership joined forces with Winyates illustrator Madison White to produce Colour in Redditch.
Former Arrow Vale student Madison produced her first colouring book while studying in Bangkok and she wanted to recreate the project in her home town.
She approached Redditch Town Centre Partnership to fund it and it is hoped it will help promote the town and raise funds for community events.
The books will also be available for mental health support groups in Redditch and the Hill Crest unit as research shows colouring has many therapeutic benefits for adults.
It costs £7.50 and has been printed by Minuteman Press on Prospect Hill.
Anyone involved with a mental health support group in Redditch who would like copies of the colouring book should email Lyndsey.berry@bromsgroveand redditch.gov.uk
