Craft4Smiles C.I.C.

Back to Activities
Craft4Smiles is a crafting community whose members have all experienced the benefits of crafting for their own wellbeing, and are working to give others the chance to do the same and join them. They offer a range of live online craft courses for adults aged 18 years and over.

This activity is good for wellbeing because

  • it is creative and leads to the production of something beautiful that can be kept and displayed or given to family and friends,
  • it allows the development of new skills and knowledge and something meaningful to do in your spare time,
  • it enables social interaction and positive relationships to develop.

 

‘I just wanted to say thank you for the way you made the sessions fun, encouraging and welcoming, you made me feel like I belonged somewhere, something I haven’t felt in a really long time. You helped me re-discover my passion for crafts and arts, it’s really helped me along in my recovery and contributed in my decision to apply for a course. So for everything I mentioned, I am always grateful.’
