Crafternoon

Crafternoon is as simple as crafting and fundraising for Mind.

Organise a date, time and place and invite a few friends, family or colleagues to come along, donate and spend time together getting crafty.

Make something, raise money for Mind, and swap craft tips over a slice of cake and a cuppa. Have fun and help us make sure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

The idea of getting everyone together to have a go at different crafts seemed like a really nice way for us to raise money for Mind, as well as talking about why crafting is so important to us.
