Summary
We're looking for male volunteers for our 'Men's Hems' drop-in group, to support men facing mental health challenges and social isolation.Detailed description
Led by a male tutor, and other volunteers who sew, we are looking for more male volunteers to support this weekly drop-in service, which is a collaboration with CPSL Mind.
You don't have to sew but it helps! We need help setting up sewing machines (we can teach you this) and encouraging the men that come to our group.
If you want to be creative, and support men in a creative and social setting, this could be for you!
We have an engaging community of volunteers, and other events and courses are available. This drop-in runs to end December 2025, and is term time only.
What we will provide to volunteers

Sew Positive is a unique UK charity helping people mend, repair, upcycle and repurpose clothes to calm the mind, improve mental health and well-being, and help our planet. We build communities of like-minded people who face social exclusion. Our activities contribute towards a more sustainable and climate-positive approach to textile waste.
