Top 10 Best Charity classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Craft and laugh has been created to give people somewhere to go once a week to set time aside for their craft, or participate in charity recycled bag making sessions and have some company, with other people similarly crafting. It is designed to aid wellbeing in terms of taking a break from life, and interracting with others. Both of which have become more difficult for many after a period where life has been quite tricky. The sessions are run for all levels. You are welcome to bring your own project to work on, or you can help make bags for the morsbags project (more can be found here www.morsbags.com) It doesn't matter about your crafting skills and experience, craft & laugh is for everybody. There are plenty of jobs to do, and you don't even need to be able to sew. At the moment it is run as a drop in so no need to make a booking unless you want to. Sessions are just £3 to cover basic costs and can be paid by cash or card on the day. It's a relaxed session with no expectations. If you come and chat and get very little done - that's OK too! I look forward to seeing you.

In this workshop, you will be shown a selection of festive crafts, all suitable for beginners. We will be offering embroidering gorgeous geometric journals, sewing a pair of mittens using a jumper that has shrunk in the wash and turned into cosy felt (BYO or let me know if you need us to get one for you), and stamped twig pencils. Choose one or see how many you can cram into the time you are there. All profits will go to Mind. You will learn to use basic hand sewing, and stamping to create charming presents for your friends and family. Templates and materials will be provided so you can be sure that you will create something that you will be proud of. Maiden Aunt evenings are a world away from the classes you did at school. You're encouraged to talk to each other, doodle and daydream. Mistakes are embraced as part of the creative process and there's no such thing as a fail. We're all about creating a social experience so you get extra marks for swapping hints and tips, and telling each other how awesome the things they are making are. We love it when people continue the crafter party on socials and when there's some good chat between the different groups. We curate talented designers to offer you trend led accessories that you can make yourself. This is a brilliant way to spend an afternoon with friends making something useful, unique and joyful!
