SSOHC Secret Society of Hertford Crafters
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters was formed by a group of 20 friends with a passion for crafting in January 2017 to create Christmas post box toppers for 27 post boxes in Hertford with the aim of bringing a smile to Hertford and fundraising for Isabel Hospice
Following on from the success of the Christmas post box toppers which delighted Hertford and raised over £14,000 for Isabel Hospice we decided to set about knitting crocheting and crafting over 15,000 poppies and sewing them to netting to cascade from the top of Hertford Castle to commemorate the centenary of Armistice Day – we put the word out and quickly expanded from 20 to over 150 and after 10 months we were delighted to be able fulfil our vision and create a very fitting tribute which raised over £17,000 for the Royal British Legion
Following on from its successes the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters became a bit more official by writing a constitution, opening a bank account and agreeing to the following objectives for the society:
• bringing joy to Hertford
• engendering community spirit
• fundraising for local charities
we have done many more yarnbombs and (Covid-19 permitting) we hold three meetings a week at Sele Community Centre &, Morgans Primary School in Hertford and Place House Hall in Ware. Please contact us if you would like to join
