Crafty Me Craft Fair becomes a drop-off location for toy donations for children at QA Hospital Portsmouth this Christmas

The Crafty Me Craft Fair, known for bringing together local artists and crafters, will serve as a drop-off point for new toy donations to benefit children spending this Christmas at Portsmouth’s Queen Alexandra (QA) Hospital.

The fair will take place on December 1st from 11am to 3pm at HSDC South Downs College in Waterlooville, offering the community a chance to spread holiday cheer to young patients.

The fair, which has become a monthly favourite craft fair in Waterlooville, is calling on visitors to bring new, unwrapped toys suitable for children of all ages. These gifts will be collected and distributed to children who are unable to spend Christmas at home due to health challenges.

“Crafty Me Craft Fair has always been about supporting our community, and this year we are honored to be able to support QA Hospital to bring smiles to children who need it most,” said the organiser Erin Green. “We invite everyone to join us on December 1st to not only enjoy the craft fair but also contribute a gift to bring some holiday magic to these children .”
