Make content about: Chris connects people through craft

Chris spent years isolated by epilepsy and stigma. Today, her craft group brings together over 100 people across Coventry.

This story

Chris experienced loneliness and mental health struggles for years after developing epilepsy as a child. In 2019, she connected with others on a park walk and launched Creative Kindness to help people craft, chat and feel valued. The group now runs sessions five days a week across libraries and cafes for more than 100 people.
