Looking forward to being back for the next market in February, this one is always brimming with lovely customers and I have not failed to get a happy dance in any of these markets yet. If you are a maker then get booked in and help a very good cause with your stall fee as well get your makes in front of buyers, win/win!!

This online market is great,I managed to get a order on the very first day and also the second day was so happy

I bought this as a gift for a friend, but obviously wanted to have a sneak peek to see what I'd bought..... It's lovely - lots of pages, really nicely presented and packaged. My friend is just going to LOVE this! 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sarah Elizabeth Wright –
this online marketing event is wonderful. I get to share my work with a large audience knowing my fee is going to help a lot of vulnerable people.

5 of 5 stars First review on this site but not my first review of Laura's fab marketplace! Even though I only booked a stall at the last minute it was a good opportunity to see what's on offer and everyone is a friendly bunch. Even if I don't sell anything, I'm happy to see the stall fee as a donation! Laura puts so much of her own time, energy and herself into running these markets as well as all the endless stuff she does to support kindness xx

Such a fabulous colouring book, that I bought to download myself. So good to have one that is relevant to those of us who live with chronic illness , and be able to find some humour in our shared experiences too. Well done Laura, you are just brilliant! ☺

Taking part as a customer and seller in the online Kindness Community Craft Market has been such a heartwarming experience. Laura, who runs it all voluntarily, pours so much love, time, and energy into creating a place that’s supportive for small businesses like mine, it is also rooted in a kindness - raising donations to send free mental health packs around the world to people who need a reminder that they matter and are not alone. I’ve just booked my market stall for August, and I’m so excited! Every time I’ve joined, I’ve noticed a lovely boost in customers and sales — but more than the happy dances, I’ve felt seen, supported, and part of something truly special. The market is filled with the kindest people, and there’s a genuine sense of community that makes you feel like you belong. It’s also thankfully super flexible - being able to post in the group at any time, as much as I want, means I can work around my health conditions without pressure. And Laura doesn’t just run things behind the scenes, she champions every single one of us, even getting us featured on radio to help boost visibility and sales! Laura is one of those rare souls who makes the world brighter for everyone around her. I’m so grateful to be part of this kindness community market, and I can’t wait to take part again 💛

I have been taking part in this market since it began a few years ago, I have only missed a couple of them, and it is such a lovely one to be a part of. LOTS of friendly customers in the group, I have picked up several repeat customers from there that come back to shop with me even when the market is not on which has been super appreciated. Also all the other stall holders are super kind and supportive which can make such a difference. Laura works so hard on marketing with leaflets going out on all kindness kits, with events that she does for Kindness community and regular features on radio. No other online market host I have ever known works as hard as she does to get publicity and bring customers in. As a disabled person myself who can no longer do face-to-face events this is an absolute lifeline for me to help get my products seen and sold, I would honestly highly recommend taking part!

I love this market since it started few years ago. Laura does so much of marketing and advertising on social media and local radio to help spread the word about the market before it starts and during the market. She promoted the sellers too. Friendly atmosphere, although it is online, lots of life in it. I love it.
