Tadcrafters is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to encouraging volunteers to collaborate in creative projects and donate their final products to worthy, local causes.
Initially set up after the impactful floods of 2015 and 2016, this Tadcaster-based group has since been supporting a wide range of charities, helping people to learn new skills whilst developing a social network of dedicated volunteers across the area.
The organisation also pride themselves on their eco-friendly ethos, which they hope to reinforce throughout 2023. Speaking about the new year ahead, a spokesperson from the organisation said: “We would like to lead the way to help our community make the most from local resources, produce less waste and raise awareness about how we can all help the environment.”
Items made are mainly created from recycled donations of various fabrics and wood which are provided by locals. In the past, the Tadcrafters have sourced items such as bags for St. Leonard’s Hospice, patchwork quilts for the special Care Baby Unit in York Hospital and blankets for Age UK, to name a few.
