'Proper community spirit'

Frazer Grimbleby, managing director of Craft Union, comments: “Craft Union is all about bringing communities together, and there’s no better example of that than the Crafty Stomp.
"It’s been incredible to see so many of our teams come together across the country – not only celebrating our 10th anniversary, but doing it in a way that helps others. From Newcastle to Swansea, we’ve seen passion, pride and proper community spirit in every step, and I’m really proud of everyone who got involved.”
