Urban Crafts

Just £130 to get us to the finish line 🤗 To say thank you, we're going to put all our donors names in a hat to win something we've made or a class with us! gofundme.com/f/Urban-Crafts…

A quick fundraiser update. We had some more donations today and now we're just £280 away from our goal. Dare I say it's starting to seem achievable?! Have your ear plugs on standby in case we do it. The screams are going to be LOUD! gofund.me/e80b96e7

We continue to be blown away by your generosity. Our gofundme to replace our anvils has reached £2620. That's a whopping 87.3% of our goal of in less than a week. We only need £380 to meet our £3k target. Something we couldn't have dreamt of 6 days ago. gofundme.com/Urban-Crafts-F…

At the end of day 3 of our crowd funder we've raised 75.3333333333% of our of total. It's been an amazing week, you are THE BEST. There's still time to donate. 🔨⬇️🔨⬇️🔨⬇️🔨⬇️🔨⬇️🔨 gofund.me/e80b96e7

It's been a wild ride since our forge was burgled on Sun. We drafted a fundraiser, Tues we launched it and in 24hrs we've raised just shy of £2k. The support is overwhelming. If you're able to share to help the push to meet our goal, it would be amazing! gofund.me/e80b96e7

@biking_penguin @EssexPoliceUK It took us three days and endless endless phone calls to get a crime number but hey ho, we got there in the end.

@ucf_crafts @EssexPoliceUK Really hope @EssexPoliceUK have stepped up now. So sorry to read this.

24hrs after our burglary and still no response or crime number from @EssexPoliceUK

Devastated to announce a burglary at our forge at Lambourne End. Anvils and other tools stolen. Awaiting response from @EssexPoliceUK
