Host a Christmas Crafternoon
Crafternoon is part of Mind’s festive fundraising drive and means getting together with friends, family or colleagues and holding an afternoon of creative fun. Whether it is card making, knitting, crocheting, or bauble making, previous research suggests crafting of all kinds can be good for our mental health. Anyone can host or take part in a Crafternoon at a time that suits them.
Whether it’s organising a Crafternoon at work, at home, or in a local café, inviting people to enjoy a fun, craft-themed event while raising funds for a good cause can boost both mood and wellbeing.
Many people find creative activities like colouring in and needlework particularly therapeutic because they help you relax and unwind, focus on producing something and can even offer the chance to spend more time with the people around you.
