Once upon a time, Howie the hedgehog doorstop lived a very quiet life at Viv’s house – tucked away in the bedroom, all alone, with no real purpose. But all that changed when Viv brought him along to Our Crafty Place!
During a brilliant team building day with the amazing people from Ingeus, we asked for their help to give him his name. After lots of laughs and questions like “Howie do that?” and “Howie going to do this?” – the name Howie was born!
Now, Howie has found his forever home with us and a brand-new mission: to help share all the fun, creativity, and behind-the-scenes moments at Our Crafty Place.
Keep an eye out for his weekly updates on what he’s been up to – we think he’s going to be very busy indeed!
