Clothing Clinic Textile Collective

These sessions offer local people the ability to re-use donated fabrics and learn textile techniques. This includes using specialist machinery and tools, while being guided by volunteers.  

Clients work together and help each other to create and mend clothing, which has created a socially inclusive and relaxed environment where people can build friendships, and feel less lonely. 

A grant from us supported their running costs and has helped them expand their service to schools and to people who are home bound, as well as expanding the types of textile workshops they offer.
