Supporting women in challenging times through craft and creativity

When you are going through a challenging time it can feel like you are all alone. This project wants to change that.

The heart of this project is to remind women going through a tough period of life that they are not alone, by connecting women across the UK to support each other.

Sometimes in the midst of difficult days, a little boost is just what you need.

Cariad Blanket Boxes contain a handmade baby blanket and a note of encouragement to new mothers who need that boost. The blanket and note symbolise love and support for both mother and baby, from others who have overcome similar challenges.

Looking for a new challenge? Want to try something creative?

Why not try crochet or another creative outlet? Many people find crafts not only give them a sense of achievement, it also helps focus and calm their minds.

 

Getting creative can help boost your mood, free up mind space and reduce stress.
