Many thanks to Rothschild Foundation and Discover Bucks Museum for supporting the Fashion Design and Sewing Skills project. This project has empowered 15 women within the BAME community with fashion skills which in returns has increased their employability and build more confidence in starting up a business as self employed.
This project has helped to bring people out of isolation, engage more within the community.. The fund has helped to create more awareness on living in Isolation, mental illness and loneliness. With great success, we are hoping to work with more funders to sustain this project
