We know this is super early, but we also know our lovely crafters like to plan and that crafting takes such a long time. We are delighted though to be launching our Christmas Craft Sale 2024, we hope you will join us. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and will help us raise much needed funds to continue our woolly work. With your love and support we hope it is a huge success! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
The charity we shall support too this Christmas will be Parkinson’s UK.
Parkinson is a cruel disease. It is a progressive neurological condition. It affects people in different ways and to different degrees, but main symptoms include tremor, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness. It affects balance and can cause nerve pain.
This wonderful charity help support those living with it, those caring for others and young onset diagnosis, Their support includes how to improve every day life, work, legal, driving, relationships and family life.
As the largest European charitable funder of Parkinson’s research, Parkinson’s UK has invested over £100 million in vital research that has delivered groundbreaking discoveries, new medications and better care.
They say
By funding the right research into the most promising treatments, we get closer to a cure every day. Until then, we’re here for everyone affected by Parkinson’s. We’ll find a cure. Together.
We plan to send a donation of at least £500 to them after the sale. the reminder will go into our own charitable projects.
So every penny we can raise will go to help others, we hope you will support us, either by crafting, buying or even maybe both! Thank you so so much.
