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.
