Volunteer With Us – Join Woven Together!
Woven Together is our inclusive sewing circle, open to anyone who loves sewing — whether you're confident with a machine or just getting started.
Together, we create handmade items that support our charity's mission.
Many of these pieces are sold in our on site showroom to complement our beautifully produced furniture, and all proceeds go directly back into helping vulnerable adults with complex needs.
This includes people living with mental health conditions, learning disabilities, loneliness, social exclusion, or those who want to make positive changes in their lives. If you enjoy textiles, sharing skills, and being part of something meaningful, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do
Use sewing machines — or learn to — to make soft furnishings, accessories, and upcycled textile items.

Share sewing skills with other volunteers or participants when appropriate.
