Crafting Wellness Group - Mission Statement
Supporting Community Wellbeing Through Crafts
We are the Crafting Wellness Group based in Guildford, Surrey (UK). We have noticed that there aren’t many third spaces to socialise without some sort of cost or purchase and with the rates of loneliness on the rise it feels like the right time to create these spaces ourselves.
Our intention is to provide free social groups in Guildford where you can bring your current project or learn a new craft.
There are several studies that show hobbies such as knitting or crochet can help soothe your nervous system, increase concentration and support fine motor skills.
Our social groups and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 16 with any skill level. We will do our best to make the groups as accessible as possible, we are disability confident and LGBTQ+ friendly.
We also support seasonal working.
