This evening we returned to Building Futures (based on the banks of the Tyne, in Walker) to help transform a workshop to be used for a brilliant local project, "Stitch Sisters" It was exciting to see the transformation from our last visit! (Have a look at the photos)
Myself and Darren got there first, and we were met by the task owner, Rebecca. Everything was so organised as always with everything already set out (rollers, paint brushes and paint) We got stuck in straight away with Darren using the extended roller to paint up high.
We were then joined by Louise and Aimee and it was lovely to see Florence return for her 2nd good deed.
Louise successfully completed building Ikea furniture (well done!) whilst Aimee and Florence were also painting.
An hour soon flew by and it was time to pack away. I'm sure we will be back very soon!

A project supporting women with skills and training, education, loneliness and domestic abuse recovery.
East End Women offers practical courses for women to build confidence and skills around DIY, sewing, pattern cutting and basic trades. We also deliver the Freedom Programme domestic abuse recovery course, helping women to better understand the roots of domestic abuse and build confidence to identify warning signs in the future. In addition to this, East End Women also offer social activities and drop-in sessions for women experiencing isolation to meet one another, make friends and build local networks.
