Calling all Crafters

by Jigsaw Events

Can you share your craft skills with people with a learning disability?
We have a regular craft group that meets at Kings Community Church, Brandhall and we also organise an Easter and Christmas crafting event for members. We are looking for people with craft skills to come along and assist with the regular group and organise one-off activities.
Jigsaw has a small budget to pay for craft materials and equipment needed. As far as possible we encourage the use of recycled and sustainable materials.

Organisation description

Jigsaw Events is about friends, fun and going places.
Take part in social activities and enable people with a learning disability to enjoy events in the community, arranged by us!
