Side by Side - Sewing for Refugee Week
Read the stories behind the stitches, and sew a drawstring bag for our 2025-27 Make project!
Are you handy with a needle? Mark Refugee Week by following that ancient tradition of stitching alongside a friend or stranger. See a quilt made by asylum seekers in temporary accommodation – on display for the day – in collaboration with Refugee Support Devon. Have you got any spare fabric at home?
Bring along donations of clean cotton – freshly washed at 40 degrees C – to use in RAMM’s community projects.
