Crowsmill Craft Centre in Alveley has been awarded just over £241,000 in National Lottery funding to support those experiencing mental health, anxiety, social exclusion and other complex health needs, including those suffering from PTSD and dementia.

The centre provides extensive workshops and activities, together with support and guidance from qualified tutors and mentors across the communities of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and Worcestershire.

Directors Dickon Pitt and Mark Chiswell opened Crowsmill Craft Centre, a not-for-profit company, in 2013.
