The shop is known for its Make & Mingle sessions, which see people travel from far and wide with their own projects to knit, sew or craft in a group rather than complete the tasks at home alone.
Charities, such as Oscar’s Community Corner, also use space in the shop for their own crafting projects.
Westmacott continued: “We are working other jobs and don’t take a wage from the business at all, we put everything back in. We are personally pushing our own finances into it to try and keep things going.
“As much as the business is growing… it is a real struggle at the moment. We are in a difficult period.
“This [the fundraiser] is so we keep open and keep things inclusive and affordable.”
