GNCCF is a not-for-profit organisation. Every penny we raise goes back into our work — from our maker selling platforms and business development programmes, to community outreach projects.
Craft has a kind of magic. When you buy a ticket or a handmade piece, you’re already helping that magic happen — but ticket sales only go so far. To secure the future of GNCCF, we rely on the generosity of people and businesses who share our passion for craft.
When you support us, you are:
-
Backing makers to bring new ideas to life and preserve skills that go back centuries.
-
Championing sustainability, supporting low-impact businesses that create with care.
-
Nurturing new talent, helping budding craft businesses grow and thrive.
-
Opening doors, enabling disadvantaged communities to learn new skills, boost confidence, and build connections through craft.
