Crafternoons

Crafternoons

Crafternoons is a crafting and sewing wellbeing group in Ramsgate for people with a learning difficulty. We host mindful crafting workshops, work with local community organisations, and volunteers come and run sewing sessions.

We use materials from The ScrapStore at EKM and recent projects include making lavender bags and aprons. No crafting or sewing experience is necessary, just come along and have a go!

For more information, contact us via email, or phone 0845 004 1876.

GOLD members at nurses training
During Learning Disability Week  we spoke with the GOLD (Getting On with Learning Difficulties) group about their collaboration with  Canterbury Christ Church University to assist nursing students with their training and hear what they think about it. Fiona Wonford, GOLD Project Manager, Daniel Marsden, Senior Lecturer and Professional Lead in Learning Disabilities at Canterbury Christ Church University,
EKM's GOLD project have released their first episode of 'Listen Up!' on Spotify.
The GOLD Project have been working with comedian Trevor Neal - of “Trevor and Simon” fame, you might remember them from Going Live in the 1980s! Trevor has been doing online improvisation and comedy workshops to support a GOLD podcast/radio show.
While we are still unable to all meet in person, GOLD is pleased to share with you their 3rd DPG video.  Guidance and rules around COVID-19 safety are changing all the time, but it's still good practice to follow the advice in the video to keep ourselves as safe as possible. You can watch GOLD's YouTube video here.
