All of the money raised through The Big G&G Sewcial will be split equally between three brilliant charities doing important work in and around Birmingham: Anawim, St Basils and Square Peg Activities.
Anawim is Birmingham’s centre for women, providing gender and trauma responsive wraparound support to help women reach their potential.
They work with more than 2,000 women every year through advocacy, counselling, crisis intervention and intensive long term specialist support, both within the Birmingham community and in prison.
St Basils is a charity and housing association that has spent more than 50 years supporting young people aged 16 to 25 who are homeless, vulnerable or at risk.
They provide accommodation alongside a holistic range of support services, helping young people find stability and move towards a more positive future.
Based in Sutton Coldfield, Square Peg Activities provides an inclusive play space for disabled children and their families.
Their mission is to enable disabled children, young people and adults to connect, belong and thrive through safe, accessible activities built around individual needs. They are working towards a Birmingham where disabled people are welcomed, prioritised and understood, and where nobody needs to apologise for being themselves.
We’re incredibly proud that our sewing community can come together to support all three.
