Join Crafters For Saoirse and take on a fun, flexible craft challenge — while raising vital funds for Saoirse Domestic Violence Services.
Take part at home, work, school, or wherever you are — Pick any date that suits you, or spread your challenge over a few days/weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can take part?
Everyone is welcome — beginners, seasoned makers, hobbyists, or anyone curious to try something new.
You don’t need to be an expert. Just bring your creativity and your heart.
What should I do with the crafts I make?
Consider offering your creations as thank-yous for donations. Or how about creating one special piece to raffle to your supporters?
Of course, you're welcome to keep your creations for yourself!
Can under-18s take part?
Under-18s can register and take part as long as they've received permission from a parent or guardian.
Can I do my challenge on a different date?
Absolutely! Saturday, 30 May is our suggested date, but you can choose any date (or dates) that work best for you.
Does my challenge have to be a full 24 hours?
Not at all. While some participants love the idea of a 24-hour craftathon, many prefer shorter sessions or team relays.
Your wellbeing comes first — if disrupting your routine could impact your mood or wellbeing, we encourage you to choose a shorter or spread-out challenge.
