Closing Down

Unfortunately, we're in the process of closing down Crafting4Good CIC after almost
9 years of social enterprise and impact.

Creativity is good for you, but running a busy creative nonprofit on increasingly limited resources is not. As a result the team were stretched, stressed and experiencing the very opposite of "creativity for wellbeing and mental health".

This website *may* stay online under a different name to preserve the legacy and resources created through years of funding with public money.

Kids Christmas Gift Boxes

by Crafting4Good CIC Community Engagement
(Wakefield )

To spread a little joy in our first-ever 'Covid Christmas', The Art House distributed 1000 Christmas gift boxes to children in Wakefield.

The boxes were designed and created by the Art House staff, studio holders and volunteers, and distributed by community partners - and we are proud to have played a small part, providing some supplies for the boxes.

Thanks to donations received from The Paperbox in York, who often send us their end-of-line wedding stationery and card making supplies, we were able to supply free envelopes for Christmas cards in the boxes, as well as assorted paper stock from our 'recycle' box of random bits and pieces that we receive in donations from the public.

You can read more about the project, artists and designers as well as download the project idea cards from the boxes: A Gift From The Art House

We are proud to be part of a wider community project supported by The Art House, making use of empty retail space - read more about our "Makey Wakey" neighbours at The Ridings Centre in Wakefield.
