Fab Lab
Fab Lab and its online brand, Made by Fab Lab, designs and manufactures digitally crafted products ranging from personalised items such as t-shirts to home d├®cor, gifts, and seasonal creations.
We also offer opportunities for volunteers and members with sight loss and other conditions to gain valuable confidence and skills, meaning that many items are developed and crafted by people with sight loss.
We design, create, and sell individually crafted high-quality products using the latest digital technology, providing training opportunities for people with sight loss and with all profits donated to Beacon Centre for the Blind charity.


Fab Lab can supply your organisation or charity with products such as branded workwear, embroidered clothing, coasters, keyrings, vinyl lettering and much more.
Our Made By Fab Lab page on Etsy sells gifts such as seasonal items and decorations, personalised products like t-shirts and mugs, wedding gifts, pet ranges and bespoke items.

We are forever grateful for the kindness of The 5/344 Transport and General Union Benevolent Fund Charity who have supported us for many years and whose generosity helped us establish Fab Lab in July 2018. In June 2022, we were over the moon to receive more funding for two new items of equipment in Beacon’s Fab Lab with a donation of more than £8,000 helping us to expand our product range.
Our Fab Lab space is named in honour of the Charity being unveilled as the 5/344 Suite in 2022.
Thank you so much to all of you!
