Could your business or organisation support Create & Chatter?
Support can be practical as well as financial. Create & Chatter can make use of safe, usable craft supplies that a business may no longer be able to sell.
Discontinued or excess craft supplies
Items with damaged packaging that are still safe and usable
Incomplete sets or other supplies that would otherwise go unused
There’s no expectation for businesses to donate normal-sale brand-new stock. If you’re unsure whether something could help, just ask.
Please get in touch before sending materials so we can discuss what would be useful and how to arrange it.

Support can look like more than just supplies.
Alongside useful materials, Create & Chatter may also benefit from shared knowledge, thoughtful collaborations and practical support that helps the community keep growing in a gentle, accessible way.
If you’re not sure whether your idea would be useful, feel free to ask — it might be exactly the sort of thing that helps.
Share useful materials
Surplus craft supplies, discontinued stock, incomplete sets or safe items with damaged packaging can all still have value in the community.
Share your knowledge
Guest talks, Q&As, creative sessions or gentle wellbeing workshops from people with relevant experience can offer something really meaningful.
Collaborate with Create & Chatter
Businesses and organisations may be able to work together with Create & Chatter on something practical, creative or supportive for the community.
This kind of support can help reduce waste, widen access to creativity and make it easier for Create & Chatter to offer varied, welcoming experiences for the women in its community.
Thank you to everyone helping Create & Chatter grow.
At Create & Chatter, it’s the little things that help make our online community feel a little more like being together in person. Whether it’s sharing biscuits during a session, having the same creative materials to work with, or seeing everyone creating alongside one another, these shared experiences help build connection, belonging and a real sense of community — even when we’re miles apart.
Sensory supports such as earplugs and fidgets can help members feel more comfortable and included, while calming scents can help create a peaceful atmosphere. Every donation, no matter how small, helps make Create & Chatter a more accessible, welcoming and inclusive space where women can feel safe, seen, supported and included.
Because community isn’t just about being in the same room. It’s about sharing experiences, feeling connected and knowing you belong.
A special thank you to our supporters
With thanks as well to the individuals, makers and organisations who have supported sessions, shared materials, skills or encouragement.
