OUR MANIFESTO

WE ARE A COMMUNITY THAT HAS FUN SHARING NEW SKILLS AND IDEAS, AND WE WANT YOU TO JOIN IN!

WHAT IS STITCHED UP?
Stitched Up is a not-for-profit Community Benefit Society inspiring communities across Greater Manchester to take action on sustainable fashion.

We currently run a sustainable clothing hub in Stretford Mall – a space for crafters, makers and tinkerers, providing an alternative to the chain stores and empty shops of your average British high street. From here you can access our public programme of sewing, mending and upcycling workshops, visit our reclaimed textiles shop and fabric sales, as well as get involved in volunteering opportunities and events like talks and film screenings.

We also bring our workshops, events and projects to locations across Greater Manchester, in partnership with charities and groups doing brilliant work to support vulnerable people, young people and more.

Any profits we make are reinvested for the benefit of the community. To date, we’ve used our profit to provide our monthly free repair cafe, subsidised holiday clubs for young people, volunteering and work experience opportunities, as well as activities and talks at community events.
