Creative Community Crafts is a community based group formed by millennium award winner, Jean Sechaud.

Creative Community Crafts was established to encourage and support people living with depression, difficult life circumstances and traumatic experiences to find support, understanding, relief and recovery through discovering and learning new skills.

In addition, we provide a safe, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for people to get involved and meet new friends - as well as discover their abilities. We give supportive information on illnesses such as M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomylelitis) as well as supporting other mental health issues.

Scientists believe M.E. involves both physical and psychological factors, depression, stress, fatique and weight gain amongst others. There are over 150,000 M.E. sufferers in Britain, 24,000 of them are children. Creative Community Crafts provides practical hands on training combined with voluntary work to promote self development and build new confidence to make positive changes.
