This project sought to harness the creative skills of people in the Manor Park area of London and promote community cohesion through textile techniques (knitting and embroidery). Participants were drawn from several under-represented groups: older learners; adults with learning difficulties; black and ethnic minorities; unemployed women. Sessions took place at four venues, including spaces dedicated to different faiths, and learners enjoyed being part of an ethnically and culturally diverse group. The project made four hangings, two booklets, a sewing kit, Christmas merchandising, and a wide selection of cards, which were sold to raise money for women in a Transylvanian village. The work was exhibited in two Central London churches.
