The North West Craft Network delighted to support the Crafts Council’s Let's Craft appeal.


The COVID-19 pandemic has meant hundreds of thousands of children stuck
at home do not have access to basic art materials. Pencils and paper are
luxuries for families that are financially stretched to the limit.


Let’s Craft packs contain pens, pencils, brushes, paints, a canvas, a
scrapbook and activity resource, meaning children can be creative throughout
the summer. The packs are distributed to families in the most need of support
through a network of community hubs and food banks across England.


Thousands of children have received packs already, but Crafts Council wants to raise
£100,000 this summer to distribute 10,000 packs.


Buy a £10 Let's Craft pack today to support the wellbeing and development of
a child in need of support.
