Creativity is good for you; self-care means taking an active role in your own wellbeing. We believe in 'creative self-care' and use arts and crafts to help people feel good, by linking unwanted supplies with those that need them.

Our beliefs about creative self-care come from personal experience and the need to discover practical ways to resilience and wellbeing, heavily influenced by:
We also see that many people don't have access to creative supplies and yet supplies were being thrown away for various reasons - so we connect them together.
So now, unwanted art and craft supplies are made accessible to people who need them for supporting their mental health and wellbeing through active self-care.
5 Ways to Wellbeing
Crafting4Good CIC is a nonprofit 'Community Interest Company' which exists to benefit the community.
Also known as a Social Enterprise, it means we 'trade' as a business purely for 'good' social reasons.
The more income we generate from 'waste' and unwanted arts and crafts, the more people we can benefit and the bigger the impact we can have on mental health and society.
100%
All income is reinvested into our social purpose
It's extremely important to us that we're as eco-friendly as possible in all we do, from recycling and diverting unwanted creative supplies from landfill, to using recycled, ethical or sustainable goods and services.
So far, we've diverted over 7.8 tonnes of unwanted art and craft 'waste' from potentially going to landfill*
