💚 The Together Table: Crafting for Kindness
 Do you have a craft skill and a passion for community? The Together Table is a wonderful group of volunteers who meet regularly to turn our donated scrap materials into something amazing! It’s all about creating with a purpose.
Together, we:
- Create crafts to sell in our shop to raise vital funds for the Scrapstore.
- Make items to donate to local charities and community groups.
- Spread joy through Random Acts of Kindness in our community.
Just come along, have fun and get creative! It’s a brilliant chance to make friends, share your skills and enjoy the wellbeing boost that crafting together brings. Every project helps reduce waste, reuse and repurpose materials, supporting the local community and the planet.
- When: Every 1st Tuesday of the month, 2pm – 4pm.
