What the charity does
Donated tools and sewing machines etc are refurbished by volunteers, so contributing to a green environment with nothing sent to landfill. Crucially this equipment is passed to organisations creating sustainable businesses in the poorest parts of the world so improving livelihoods. Our Workshop became a charity in 2023 after 5 years of operation.
