CHARITY CRAFTATHON CHALLENGE
Four crafters – Making MxTakes, MxMarmite, Destai Designs and Coronation Soap – will embark on a Craftathon Challenge to raise money for Trans Pride Brighton on Saturday
The team will spend 12 hours making items they normally sell, including handmade vegan soaps, jewellery, dice bags and resin coffins. The Craftathon will be streamed live on the Charity Craftathon Twitch channel with a sale on items they sell during the challenge. They say: “Trans Pride Brighton was established in 2013 to promote the rights of the transgender and intersex communities. Three of our team identify as trans/non-binary. “The money raised will be to help access needs and requirements of both PoC and disabled trans and non-binary people within the Trans Pride community.

Now, more than ever, the trans community are in need of help as they struggle against legislative hurdles and societal prejudice to achieve the equality they deserve.” August 29 from 10am–10pm. In September 2019, Coronation Soap participated in the first Charity Craftathon Challenge, which took place over 24 hours and raised £180 for Rape Crisis (England & Wales) and Survivors UK. Coronation Soap created this challenge as a means for folk who are unable to participate in mainstream charity challenges to have an accessible means to fundraise for charity.
In March 2020, Coronation Soap and two other disabled business owners participated in two 12-Hour Charity Craftathon Challenges: one raised £425 for Martlets Hospice and the second one raised £130 for Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals Charity.
