Sew Nation

Are you of Black African or Caribbean Heritage and want to make a difference in your community? Join us for a special workshop where you'll not only learn how to sew a beautiful motif onto a tote bag from scratch, but you'll also have the opportunity to learn how you can make a real difference in the community by understanding the impact of black blood donation.

We are thrilled to be partnering with NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) to offer free Sip & Sew sessions from September until July 2025 to raise awareness about the importance of blood donations within the Black African & Caribbean community in Medway and the surrounding areas.
