We'd like to say a very big thank you to John Queripel Associates Limited for their ongoing support for Artizan International. They very kindly gave us a grant to help us equip our UK cafe project, and ongoing support for overseas too. Thank you so much JQA team!

We're also very grateful to Resurrection Bikes, a Harrogate charity based at Kairos Church that refurbish donated bikes and sell them to raise funds for people like us! They have supported our work since the very beginning, first in the UK and now in Peru. Their support makes it possible for Laura Baxendale to volunteer there full-time, where she makes a huge difference in the lives of the many people with disabilities she serves. Pop down to see them if you're in need of a great bike! You can find out more about them on their website here:

We were able to move into a new office and studio in Harrogate, thanks to a tremendous amount of support from local building firm G.H.Brooks who kindly provided all the materials we needed to convert an old garage into a light, bright and insulated studio, where we store all the crafts materials and equipment for our weekly crafts sessions. We love the new space and quite literally couldn't manage without it! Thank you so much for your generous support.

The new studio space's flooring was generously donated by 'Smith's The Rink' in Harrogate, a local family firm supplying fabulous flooring, furniture and more! They even came and professionally fitted it for us. It gets a lot of hard wear, so we're extremely grateful to have such a beautiful floor!

Project Possible is a Christian charity that believes God’s plans are for transformed lives – physically, emotionally and spiritually. They partner with local organisations and churches led by local visionaries seeking transformational change in their communities. Living in their own communities, they have the vision and drive to transform lives for those in poverty but need access to resources and broader networks. We partner with them, working together to bring about change.
They provide crucial support for some of the core running costs of our Ecuador project, which provides training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities who would otherwise be living in extreme poverty. |
