Proposed budget

GBP 5,000

Description

Stitching for Wellbeing is a community initiative designed to enhance the quality of life in our neighbourhood. This project empowers residents to acquire essential sewing and clothing repair skills, fostering self-sufficiency and personal growth.

Our primary focus is on improving mental health and well-being. We aim to provide residents with a therapeutic outlet through creative stitching activities, relieving stress, anxiety, and depression. By teaching residents how to repair their own clothes, we encourage a sustainable lifestyle that reduces waste and promotes resource conservation.

Through a series of workshops, sessions, and community events, we plan to actively engage residents. We will assess the project's impact by conducting surveys and gathering feedback to measure changes in participants' sewing skills, mental well-being, and overall satisfaction.

Ultimately, Stitching for Wellbeing, seeks to create a stronger, more resilient, and happier community by nurturing individual growth, fostering a sense of belonging, and promoting a sustainable way of living that benefits both residents and the environment.

    Hi, please could you let us knowvwhen is this happening and where? Thanks
      @Anitha George They started a couple of weeks ago, fortnightly on Thursdays at Green Street Library, 1pm-3pm. Next session is today.
        @Dilawar Hussain thanks Dilawar. Unfortunately, the time doesn't work for me. Good luck, I hope it goes well.
          Sounds fantastic. Is this limited only yo those claiming benefits? How many will benefit from this project? I missed out on sewing skills growing up, it would be fantastic to participate.

          @Seena Williams Please contact Farha, details on attached flyer and in the updated picture on the page above.
            @Dilawar Hussain time doesn't work for me either. Aimed at people who don't work I guess. Shame it's not a Saturday event.
              @Seena Williams This is aimed at mothers/parents who can attend just before school runs. Please visit the library or community centre to find information on other activities which you can join in.
                @Dilawar Hussain I'm a mother/parent who works. No doubt a dying breed. As I said in an earlier comment missed out on this skill from school who thought learning how to use a PC was more important than life skills like this. My parents worked too so there wasn't much time to pass on these skills. Still as long as those not working are catered for and have something meaningful to do before the school pick up! Didn't notice it was aimed at anyone in particular to get funding....
