Age UK Pop-up Craft Shop

30th July 2011

We Create* ran its charity Pop-up Craft Shop project with Age UK in Wolverhampton.

The project set-up and ran a pop-up shop retailing bits n bobs created by local craft-based groups around the area to raise awareness and funds for Age UK and to support the groups.

We Create* hopes that the project can form a basis to run two local seasonal pop-up shops that can allow the groups to come together to create craft-based items to retail as a fundraising activity to allow participants to buy materials for future activities.

We Create* sees the project as an opportunity for Age UK to use craft-based and creative groups to help raise funds for the organisation on a national basis by using its UK network of 400+ charity shops to retail the items. As well as opportunities to retail seasonal items through youthful high street retailers and year round on online craft-based websites.
