Do your bit for the environment

The negative impact of our overconsumption of new clothing, both on the environment and the people who make them, cannot be understated.

Check out our events below which help you refresh your wardrobe without buying new, or teach you how to fix your favourite 'fits so you can keep them on rotation!

2) 1:1 Clothing Repair Café, 19 March

“The most sustainable thing you can do is wear your clothes for longer”.

Do you have an item of clothing that needs a quick fix – perhaps it has a rip, hole, or a button has come off?

But not sure where to start? Then book a slot (20 minutes) with an experienced mender, pull up a seat, and she will teach you the practical clothing repair skills needed to mend your item, and bring your clothes back to life again! You can then stay sat in the workshop room after your slot to carry on with your repair if you wish, or leave with the skills to continue in your own time.
