Micro Charities across Dorset and Hampshire.

Micro charities are smaller charities that are not able to promote themselves as many larger charities do. Which means many are undiscovered and struggle to raise awareness. 

Smaller charities provide support in various ways, they rely on individuals giving free time to support their cause. This can be through delivering parcels to vulnerable members of our community, cleaning up our town with litter picking or planting trees to help the environment, organising better recycling facilities and much more.

These groups are often the ones that see what is needed in our community at its grass roots and step up to make a change. They run effectively through people who are dedicated to the cause.

The reason we have decided to help these small micro charities within our community is that even small contributions and donations can make such a difference. If you know of any Micro Charities within the New Forest and Dorset Hampshire borders please do let us know. 

How Does New Forest Craft Market hope to help?

Each month through our stallholders' dedication we will raise funds through one of two ways -

1. We will host a collaborative stall where sellers can post one item. All sales from this collaboration will go to the charity chosen that month.  
2. Sellers will have individual stall numbers. Those who are in a position to pay, will be charged a nominal monthly fee which will be shared between our beneficiaries. 

We ask but do not make these options compulsory to our stallholders as the New Forest Craft Market is there for ALL. We would not want to deprive someone of the opportunity to be discovered by making it a blanket rule. We want to support the individual crafter/small business in their endeavors to make a living.

Selling and buying local creates a more intimate experience where the buyer gets to know a seller and promotes loyalty, Sellers then feel that they in turn are supporting their community.
