Creative Wellbeing & Resilience

Creativity is good for your wellbeing -  we encourage exploring art and craft as a means to positive mental health and resilience. 

Our approach is influenced by positive psychology, art therapy and the 5 ways to wellbeing.

Crafting for good supports mental health, wellbeing and our environment in various ways.

Nonprofit & Community Benefit

• We generate income from unwanted art and craft supplies, donated by artists, crafters and businesses.
   
• Jobs, young people's work experience and volunteer opportunities are created.
   
• Surplus is given for free to local community organisations supporting children and adults, mostly in underprivileged areas.

Affordable Supplies

You can support what we do by purchasing from our shops:

• Retail shop in The Ridings, Wakefield
  
  
• eBay for Change social enterprise shop
  
  
• Printable activities
  (instant downloads for both crafters and groups to use)

Environmentally Driven

• 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. 
  
  
• We've diverted 6 tonnes of unwanted art and craft 'waste', potentially from going to landfill, since we started weighing it all in 2020.
