The Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge is inviting the community to take part in a series of festive craft workshops running throughout November and December. The programme builds on the success of the hospice's previous community craft events, which have drawn steady support from local residents.
Workshops Offer Lantern Making and Wreath Crafting
The Christmas programme includes lantern making, wood slice and felt decorations, rag wreaths and decorative Christmas frames. Sessions are open to seasoned crafters and complete beginners alike, providing a low-pressure environment for anyone interested in exploring their creative side during the holiday season.
Lisa Tromans, creative wellbeing lead at the hospice, highlighted the broader value of the workshops. “We are delighted by the support we have received for our craft workshops,” she said. “They have not only given people the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques, but have also created a welcoming space where people can come together with friends and family, enjoy a shared activity and meet new people.”
Proceeds Support Hospice Palliative Care Services
All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to support the hospice's specialist palliative and end-of-life care services. That means every booking not only offers a chance to craft but also contributes to the care of patients and families in the local area.
The hospice, located in Stourbridge, has positioned these workshops as a way to get into the festive spirit while giving back to a cause that touches many lives. The sessions are designed to be social as well as creative, fostering connections among participants.
How to Book and Get Involved
Those interested in attending can book their place through the Mary Stevens Hospice website. The programme is expected to fill quickly given the demand seen at previous events, so early booking is advised.
For anyone looking to support the hospice further, the organisation welcomes news and photos from the community, encouraging local involvement in its activities throughout the year. The workshops represent a practical way for residents to engage with the hospice's mission while enjoying a seasonal activity.
