Forging Futures: Breaking Barriers for Neurodivergent Blacksmiths

Help us raise £36,000 to provide immediate, free access to life-changing blacksmithing support for neurodivergent students across the UK

The Story Behind Our Campaign 🔥

For over 10 years, Hereford Make CIC has been supporting blacksmithing students, and we've discovered something remarkable: the individuals who benefit most from our services are neurodivergent. In fact, 70% of our 2025 cohort identify as neurodivergent – reflecting a wider pattern where blacksmithing naturally attracts people whose minds work differently.

But here's the problem: we're trapped in a heartbreaking cycle. The very students who need us most often can't access our support when they need it most – at the start of their journey when funding is tightest and bureaucracy is most overwhelming.

This week, it’s all about Sadie and her signature spirals! From intricate accents to bold designs, her creations have an instantly recognisable style.

Spirals might look simple, but nailing the perfect curve takes practice, precision, and a sharp eye. Sadie’s got it down to an art; her work is always a standout in the forge.

Which of her designs is your favourite? Let us know!
