2024
ACROSS THE TOWN IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS
Delivered by the Everyone Needs Pockets
OUR PARTNER IN FROME
The Everyone Needs Pockets Textile Reuse Network is an inclusive group of enterprises and individuals whose focus is on addressing clothing and textile reuse, recycling and regeneration through stitching, knitting, weaving and repairing. Their ethos centres on three principles: revamp; repair; repurpose.
Everyone Needs Pockets is in residence with Future Shed Edventure Frome running a variety of events on taking action on the climate crisis this year. Future Shed Frome offers practical support to get green and healthy initiatives and enterprises off the ground through building networks, connecting people and ideas, signposting and start-up coaching for a greener, healthier future.
