An arts and crafts fair will take place in Chickerell this weekend to support bereaved children and their families.

A free pop up crafts market will be held at the Willowbed Hall, Putton Lane on Sunday September 29. 

From 10am to 4pm, families can peruse the various stalls selling arts, crafts and gifts from local businesses. 

There will also be free reflexology tasters and and an Usborne reading corner where children can also enjoy painting activities.

All money raised will go towards supporting Mosaic Dorset - a charity that helps young people between the ages of five and 18 who have lost a parent, grandparent, sibling or friend. 

It provides qualified counsellors who meet and talk with the child or young person, helping them understand and deal with feelings of grief and anxiety.

More information about the charity can be found on the Mosaic charity website: www.mosaicfamilysupport.org
