12 Days of Christmas Decoration - Ashwin Chacko

Neighbours Knocking – Our elderly neighbours need our Christmas and community spirit now more than ever. Let’s knock and check up with folk on our street and enjoy a socially distanced cuppa and a chat.

Meet the Designer – Ashwin Chacko 
Ashwin is a multi-disciplinary illustrator, designer & typographer, working and living in Dublin. His style is influenced by contemporary culture and is rooted in his love for music, comics, tattoos and street art.

This decoration is part of a set of 12 decorations inspired by a newly rewritten version of the old festive song, seeking to modernise Christmas traditions for a more inclusive modern Ireland. All proceeds are being used to train and upskill women from refugee backgrounds in We Make Good’s Textile Studio. The decorations themselves are being crafted by participants of Cairde Enterprises, an education and training centre in Limerick which works with men and women who have experience of the criminal justice system.
