Craft for a Cure
Here’s how to plan your Craft for a cure fundraiser step-by-step:
Step one
From needle felting to knitting, and painting to lino printing – it’s time to pick the type of craft inspired fundraiser you'd like to organise. There are so many options - from selling your own handmade items through to organising a craft party.
Crafty supporters like you have raised funds individually and in groups by hosting craft workshops and even taking on crochet marathons.
Step two
Sign up to get your fundraising pack. You'll get an instant digital guide in your inbox, plus an optional pack in the post.
Step three
Time to make your craft fundraiser official! Choose your date and location and set up your JustGiving page ready for donations.
Step four
Use your free fundraising pack to help you plan your crafting and if you need extra support get your friends and family involved.
Step five
Get crafting! Every pound you raise takes us closer to beating blood cancer.

Tips from our fundraisers
"Within our group we all enjoy different sorts of crafting. Some of the group love to sew and make a range of hand made crafts such as gift bags, bibs, bottle bags, bunting and more recently bird feeder sets from repurposed china cups and saucers. Others are keen cooks and have made chutneys, jams, biscuits, tiffin and other edible goodies in gift packs. We also have made knitted items from Santa hats to pom pom wreaths. We love coming up with new ideas to keep the stall fresh. Basically, we just make anything we enjoy crafting that we think will sell."
