This event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, so set your alarms and we’ll see you at 8am on June 8th!
Community Support Ideal Shopping Direct has been working hard behind the scenes to support the NHS and our community. Here’s how we’re lending a helping hand… ● We’re donating essential items such as hand sanitisers to NHS staff, care workers and care homes. ● We’re donating toiletry bundles to local food banks to support those in our community who are most in need. ● We’re donating new shoes to carers in care homes to say thank you for all their hard work. ● We’re donating mindfulness colouring sets to young, vulnerable people in hospitals, teens in children’s services, and carers.

● We’ve worked with Craft Cotton Company to help donate hundreds of metres of fabric for those making scrubs for frontline NHS workers. ● We’re saying thank you to our NHS and Emergency Services employees by giving Blue Light Card holders a 10% online discount. We know our amazing crafty community has been hard at work too, so let us know how you’ve been helping out. We’d love to hear from you! Email editor@ createandcraft.com.
Messages of H

“Send and share your pictures” “Even though this may be an extraordinary time in which we cannot craft with our loved ones, friends or usual groups, we can instead make our work that bit more special by sending pictures and sharing them online. Social media has become a lifeline to everyone at home isolating and staying safe. I’ve loved using social platforms during this time to hear about the new crafts people have tried, interesting techniques they have found and also the inspiration they are finding!” Stephanie Weightman
Dan’s hosting a weekly quiz “Never before has craft been so relevant and important, and I’m taking great comfort from interacting with our community. Since lockdown, my wife Emily and I have been hosting a weekly Facebook Live quiz on my craft page full of fun chat about all sorts, including craft, cooking and fancy dress... with the odd question thrown in too!” Dan Bancroft
