Tesco Stronger start Funding

We were really pleased to be chosen as one of the 3 local charities to feature in Tesco Stronger Starts public vote over the winter period.

As a direct response to your support by putting your Blue tokens in the box for Celf o Gwmpas we will receive £1000 from Tesco’s Stronger Starts scheme enabling us to continue our project ‘The Sewing Sessions’.

The Sewing Sessions run monthly for young people aged 11 – 16 years old on the last Wednesday of each month 4 - 6pm and were started in 2023 as a direct response to requests from young people who wanted to learn how to sew, mend, alter and up-cycle their clothes and to move away from fast fashion.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, our next session is Wednesday 26th March at Centre Celf.

These sessions are run on a Pay as you Feel/Are able scheme and would not be possible without the support of Tesco Stronger Starts funding.
