Funded by the National Lottery.

Stitching Change is a youth-led creative programme that empowers young people to explore sustainability through sewing and upcycling. This initiative will provide participants with practical textile skills—such as repairing, altering, and redesigning clothing—while raising awareness of the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion.
Through hands-on workshops and collaborative learning, participants will transform donated materials into unique, functional items. The programme prioritises youth leadership, with older participants (16–24) taking active roles in planning, facilitating, and mentoring younger participants.
The project will culminate in a community showcase event, celebrating participants’ achievements and promoting sustainable living practices within the wider community.
