By Ria Choolun

A Leicester craft market is aiming to make a difference to help the homeless.

Robyn Hackett is organising GetCrafted! on Sunday, November 30, from noon until 5pm, at Firebug Bar, in Millstone Lane.

It will feature about 15 small businesses, collect food donations and run a raffle, with all proceeds going to the Help the Homeless charity.

Miss Hackett’s grandparents inspired her to give back to the community. She said: “I always thought charity was important, my grandparents often supported charities and volunteered their time when I was growing up.”
