Collaborating with Northumbria University’s Fashion School to deliver free mending workshops

Our Retail team have partnered with Northumbria University’s Fashion School to offer Free Mending Workshops from our event venue, the space, in Ouseburn. 

Using donated items that are a little too worn to resell, these hands-on sessions teach visible mending techniques to help people extend the life of their own wardrobe.  

We’re excited to up-cycle the items generously donated to us, to ensure that as many jumpers, jackets and jeans can find their forever home.  

The sessions are open to people of all skill sets, so whether someone is a total beginner or experienced with a needle and thread, we want to empower everyone to be part of the movement towards more conscious consumption.
