Fundraising

One of my passions is getting involved in charity events and helping to fundraise for the N&N Hospital. I have been co-ordinating Items for NICU (neonatal Intensive care unit), Heydon & Buxton Wards for over 2 years now and hope to continue for many years to come.

The Stitching Genie is now a collection / drop off point for TWAM (Tools with a Mission)
Do you have an unwanted sewing machine or a broken machine that you want to donate to a good cause?

There’s a wealth of information on my fundraising page, so I invite you to check it out and see how you can join me in making a difference!
