Hardship Fund

    The Hardship Fund was launched, in association with the Radcliffe Trust, to help makers who, during the Covid-19 lockdown, lost more than 75% of their income and didn't qualify for government support.

    Over £75,000 was raised which enabled 150 makers to benefit, each receiving individual grants of £500.

    We are hugely grateful to The Radcliffe Trust for enabling us to set up this fund and would also like to thank Bils & Rye and their customers for their support.

    The Crafts Council is committed to continue supporting makers who are recovering from the impact of Covid-19.

    If you would like to support the Hardship Fund please email development@craftscouncil.org.uk
