Crochet for a Cause: Hooked on Healthy

Crochet for a Cause: Hooked on Healthy Youth Edition is a youth-focused community initiative that uses the art of crochet to encourage healthy lifestyles, creativity, connection and positive well-being.

Over two days, young participants will learn and practise crochet while exploring different aspects of healthy living. Through hands-on activities, conversations and creative projects, participants will discover how creativity can support their mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

What will participants do?

During the two-day programme, participants will:

• Learn and practise beginner-friendly crochet skills.
• Create crochet pieces inspired by healthy living, including fruit and vegetables.
• Explore spiritual, mental and physical well-being in age-appropriate ways.
• Develop patience, focus, creativity and problem-solving skills.
• Build confidence as they learn a new practical skill.
• Meet and connect with other young people.
• Discover how their creativity and handmade skills can contribute to a wider cause.

Why “Hooked on Healthy”?

Being healthy is about more than what we eat or how much we exercise. It also includes how we think, how we connect with others, how we care for ourselves and how we use our gifts and talents.

Hooked on Healthy brings these ideas together through crochet.

Instead of spending the entire mid-term break simply looking for something to do, participants can spend two days learning, creating, connecting and developing a skill they can continue to enjoy beyond the programme.

Give Your Child a Mid-Term Break With Purpose

Crochet is more than making something with yarn. It can help young people slow down, focus, practise patience and experience the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands.

Hooked on Healthy combines these creative benefits with conversations and activities centred on well-being, giving young people an opportunity to learn something practical while thinking about what it means to live a healthy and balanced life.

Spaces will be limited so that participants can receive the guidance and support they need throughout the programme.
