What a week!

This time last week we were doing our best to keep things ticking over and hoping to be able to run our March workshops, but how things have changed and so quickly

Firstly, I hope that all our Chirpy workshop customers and providers are ok - sending you all virtual hugs!

So here's a little update on where we are with the current workshp programme...

MARCH & APRIL WORKSHOPs
All of these have been postponed or where this has not been possible for a specific reason we have cancelled them. If you were booked on one of these workshops you should have received an email from me via Eventbrite to inform you of this. If you haven't then please email me on hello@chirpystore.co.uk

You'll have been given a few options - I would be really grateful if you would let me know asap which option you would like to take as this helps with planning for the future workshop programme and lets me update the providers

TRANSFER TO THE NEW DATE - this is the easiest thing to do and would really help us. We'll either give you the date if we've decided it or we'll let you know as soon as we have a new date. Of course if nearer the time you are unable to make that date then we can look at another option for you

BANK YOUR TICKET PRICE - if you know that you cannot make the new date but would still love to come on a Chirpy workshop we can bank your ticket and you can use it towards a different workshop in the future.

REQUEST A REFUND - if you would prefer a refund then we are happy to do this. All I ask is that you do consider the other 2 options as it would be great if we could have some existing bookings for the future workshops so we can guarantee running them when it is safe to do so. 

LOYALTY SCHEME - we currently run a Chirpy Workshop Loyalty scheme where if you attend 8 workshops you get your 9th for free. As a little THANK YOU, if you decide to either transfer or bank your ticket we will give you an extra loyalty stamp to help your on your way to a free workshop.

WORKSHOP SCHEDULED FOR AFTER MAY
If you are booked on a workshop from May onwards I will be in touch a bit nearer the time to offer you the above options. 

Behind the senes I am working with the workshop providers to agree our autumn programme so that we have dates for postponed and new workshops. It's such a worrying time for everyone and especially for the workshop providers who are self employed and have seen all their workshops disappear for the time being. Though amazed at how many have been so creative in their thinking in what they can offer - watch this space for us looking to work with some of them in a different way to try and bring you some creative activities #chirpyworkshopsathome - like the idea?

We are still able to offer Workshop Voucher for any value to if you wish to buy one then please get in touch and I can send it to you or to the recipient if it is a present with a card of your choice. If you already have a Voucher to use, don't worry there's no expiry date on them. 

Please bear with us at this time - we have had such a busy start to the year with workshops and we have lots in the diary to reschedule. However, if you have any questions about any of the workshops you are booked onto please don't hesitate to get in touch via hello@chirpystore.co.uk or DM me via @chirpystore on Facebook or Instagram

Most importantly, stay safe & well and be creative and we look forward to welcoming you back to Chirpy as soon as we can
