Ben was at his lowest when he came to Handcrafted. He felt overwhelmed, and his mental health had led him to a point where he no longer wanted to live. Ben started coming to our Gateshead workshop, where he enjoyed being creative. As well as practical skills, Ben is learning how to manage his social anxiety. The Foundation grant is instrumental to this, it makes a huge difference to Ben, and all the people we work with.
