I've raised £15000 to pay for masks made by volunteers, and support Sew Positive, a new charity bringing our communities together through sewing.

CommunityMasks4NHS raised an incredible £40,000 for NHS Charities Together. With this huge success, and the emerging mental health crisis from the pandemic, this has evolved to Sew Positive, a new charity to support people facing social isolation and bring our communities together through sewing.
Please donate for your masks to support us as we set up our new charity, and help us fundraise to deliver our services to vulnerable groups.
Sew Positive will provide:
• Sewing workshops for people facing social exclusion, including people facing unemployment, financial hardship, ill health, poor education or discrimination.
• Products for sale made by our team of wonderful volunteers to fundraise to deliver our services.
• A variety of community virtual groups for isolated people to share their sewing and craft projects with each other.
We will continue to make masks as volunteers and sell them to support the set up of the charity on THIS page.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, support and fantastic donations of money, time, fabric during our work for CommunityMasks4NHS. It's amazing what we can do together. Sew Positive will continue as a result of this, and address the evolving issues of social isolation as we move forward.
