Sewing Bee Fundraiser

Welcome to our Sewing Bee Fundraiser event! Join us for 5 weeks filled with creativity and philanthropy. Perfect for beginners and seasoned sewers. We'll have everything you need to create a beautiful nightwear set with your own personalised pattern.

With the money raised we will be able to continue our community sewing bee for adults, and both of our youth groups, both of which support individuals on low income and who may consider themselves vulnerable or disadvantaged. Our youth groups, in the form of a drama club and a Saturday social hub, support families by providing a safe space for their young people to explore friendships and be creative. To make these sessions as accessible as possible we keep them free, and need your support to raise money to buy essential resources and materials to keep them engaging and exciting. Our community sewing bee aims to reuse and recycle old material, and gives individuals the skills to amend their own clothes at home.

St Vincent's Brixton (part of the umbrella charity: St Vincent de Paul Society) is a community centre that supports vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals and families on its doorstep through creative activities, ESOL and a clothes bank.

Our Sewing Bee Fundraiser will have knowledgeable instructors on hand to help you with your sewing techniques and guide you through this fun and exciting project. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow sewing enthusiasts, share tips, and contribute to a meaningful cause in a friendly and supportive environment.
