Stitching Together is a Bristol community craft initiative from local charity Bridges for Communities. They reduce loneliness and isolation by bringing together local volunteers and refugee and asylum seeking women, of all ages and nationalities, to share sewing skills, practice English and build friendships.
They provide 360 hours of classes across the year, including hand stitching and machine sewing, benefitting 222 women at a range of venues across Bristol. The project is led by job share team Sima Gul from Afghanistan and Dawn Giles from Bristol and supported by an amazing team of volunteers.
