Handmade Alliance is a social enterprise training prisoners to produce high quality hand-finished textile products for British designers.
They also provided training and employment to ex-offenders, with the aim to dramatically improve their chance to reintegrate successfully into society.
Handmade Alliance are currently in the process of launching their debut homeware range and will be running a few half-day sessions to enlist help for the cause, like crowd funding. This is crowd 'helping out', having fun learning something new or helping to share your own knowledge as a maker/crafts pioneer.
You will be making strings of hearts and moons, and alternative tinsel (from recycled fabrics).

All work and donated time will benefit Handmade Alliance and its work with the community.
Don't be shy if you're not a crafts-person or sewing expert. There's teaching if you need it, and you will be able to take home a decoration of your own ready for your tree. So smiles all round!
These sessions will be taking place afternoons (with teaching for keen stitchers) on Wednesday the 4th and 11th of September from 1-6pm and Saturday 7th and 14th September from 1-6pm.
