Let's Get Stanley his own workshop for SCW
Dorchester, England, United Kingdom
Aim
We would love to be able to raise enough funds to buy Stanley a watertight garden shed or summer house to work in and store all his yarn.
Stanley is my 11 year old nephew and he is amazing. Take a moment to read about his crocheting journey.
Stanley started to crochet back in lockdown in 2020 learning to make pumpkins and blankets, at this time Stanley was only 9 years old.
He then decided he wanted to raise some money for the poppy appeal due to the lockdown conditions in 2020. So he started making crocheted poppies for remembrance day. Stanley raised over £370 for the poppy appeal in November 2020
Since then Stanley has continued to raise money for charity including Cancer Research, The Dogs Trust, Food Bank and many more.
Stanley uncle Jonathon was very poorly during the first lockdown and had to have major heart surgery to save his life, in February 2021 for valentines day, Stanley crocheted little hearts to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.
Last year Stanley donated all his event takings to the local food bank in Corringham, Essex
Stanley is now 11 years old and continues to Crochet but he needs a space where he can store all his yarn and materials and knitting machines, which have kindly been donated over the past couple of years.
Stanley has also set up community learn to crochet group at his local community café, which runs on a Sunday.
Everything Stanley does is always for such a good cause, he loves raising money but also loves being creative at the same time. Stanley is so kind and always thinks of others and it would be lovely to give something back to him.
That's why I decided to set up this Crowdfunder page, it would be amazing for Stanley's Crochet Workshop to have his own workshop.
We would absolutely love to be able to fundraise to be able to buy him a little summer house so he can store all his yarn and materials and also have a space in which he can continue to grow his little business.
To follow Stanley he has an instagram and Facebook account called Stanley Crochet Workshop, but we are trying to keep this a surprise for him.
You can find Stanley's work all over his local town and his most recent addition is his Jubilee Post-box cover in Stanford le-hope.
Thank you for taking the time to read his journey, from a very proud auntie and uncle in Dorset.
