Stitches in Time is a community arts and education charity working with the most marginalised and deprived communities in Tower Hamlets. For over 30 years we have delivered community-led projects and educational programmes in textiles and visual arts, helping to build an inclusive Tower Hamlets, using craft as a shared language and experience to build empathy between disparate communities.
We are a grassroots organisation with a reputation for creating real, tangible, personal and social impact. Working with women who have generally had little or no access to the arts, education or employment in the U.K. we facilitate fundamental change in their lives. Rooted in our local community with sewing programmes, employment via our social enterprise.
Along with many other charities, we are now faced with a dilemma. Funding sources are disappearing fast, which is affecting us very badly. We have just learned that we have lost £65,000 of funding. All profits from this event will go towards supporting our work.
The band, staff and the building have donated the space, their time and their tunes to support this fundraiser, we just need you to buy a ticket, share the event and come and dance the night away!
