We are a collective of creatives and activists who use gentle crafting to create the kind and loving world we want to see.

We meet once a month to learn about local campaigns and use our community voice to call for action from people in power. By crafting small, beautiful objects and big, bold community art pieces, we educate ourselves and invite our whole Leeds community into the movement for change.

Our gentle activism approach also helps us to nourish ourselves with creativity, and take action in a way that is sustainable for our own wellbeing. Whether you’re a skilled artist or you can’t even thread a needle, you are so welcome to join us for an evening of crafting a better world together.

As a charity, we are committed to keeping our events and communities as affordable as possible, and so we have introduced a pricing structure for Leeds Craftivists which allows you to choose the price which is best suited to you. Ticket prices start at £1, and if you would like to come but cannot afford to buy your ticket, please contact hello@leedssanctuary.org.uk for a code which will allow you to book your ticket at no cost to you.
