In the charity's own words
We work with local councils, organisations and industry to provide safe sewing workrooms. We support the strong sewing cultural heritage within different ethnic communities, refugee families as they pass their sewing skills onto their children, continuing their cultural tradition and practising sustainable garment making methods. We promote family bonding through adult and child sewing workshops.
