Once again our annual Craft Fair was a huge success. So much so, says organisor Krystina Gadd, “that the grand total raised is fast approaching £2,000.”
Many thanks then to those who took tables; those who not only displayed and sold a whole array of wares but also kindly donated raffle prizes. Thanks also to those of you who gave us your support by bravely enduring the might of storm Amy. But perhaps extra special thanks ought to go to a lady called Stephanie Poloubinski. Stephanie, who in the world of crafting is nothing short of a genius had lovingly made and then donated the fabulous throw you can see above; this in itself, and in a separate raffle raised over £600.
The cause, as in previous years was our support for a women’s and girls hostel in Kandy, Sri Lanka. This vital project, without which many would struggle to survive, not only provides the girls with emotional and physical support but also teaches them a raft of practical skills.
So once again, thank you to all concerned.
