W


ant to reignite
your creativity as
Christmas
approaches?
Maybe you’re looking for
something fun to do with your
loved ones? Thanks to Mind’s
Crafternoon, you can do both
this month, while raising money
for a worthy cause.
The idea is simple: host a
fun-filled afternoon of crafting
and ask your friends to make a
small donation to Mind, the
leading mental health charity in
England and Wales. You could
even raise more funds by
offering a slice of cake, a mince
pie, or a cuppa.


You don’t need to be a
crafting pro to take part. Anyone
and everyone can join in a
Crafternoon. Just head to
mind.org.uk/crafternoon to
request your Crafternoon kit. It’s
filled with templates, recipe
cards, banners, bunting, and all
the ideas and inspiration you
need to hold your event.
On the day, just clear a table,
lay out your materials – then
you’ll be set to host your very
own Crafternoon. The event
takes place on Saturday 30
November but don’t worry if you
can’t join in on that day – feel
free to pick another date in the
run up to Christmas!

Why not try making the
following crafts at your
Crafternoon for Mind?
