Grants
One of the key areas of funding Oakley Stitchers is through grants. These provide us with some of the necessary finances to keep our variety of projects running, ensuring we are able to continue helping the community and further afield.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda and provides £2.6 billion of funding for local investment by March 2025. The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills.

Donations
If you don't Stich, sew or knit there is another vitally important way you can join in...
Everything that we do is a team effort and without any of the generosity, support and selfless voluntary action of everyone involved, we just wouldn't exist!
As a non profit organisation, your donation will enable us to provide Stitchers with the materials they need and the postage for the finished items to reach their new home.
Every penny counts and so far has ensured that we have been in a position to help anyone who requests our support.
We have donation links available via just giving and via Paypal.
Sewing
Dust your machine off, grab a pattern and get sewing! Its as easy as that. Everything you need to create scrubs, masks, hats and bags is outside Caroline's house safely stored and accessible, in line with COVID compliance.
Knitting/Crochet
Get searching for them knitting needles in your loft or long lost draws . Again, everything you need to create knitted knockers, twiddle muffs, granny squares, premature blankets, traffic light hats etc are outside Caroline's house, safely stored and accessible in line with COVID compliance.
French Knitting
Oakley Stitchers are also making little French knitted keyrings. If you don't know how to sew or knit, this is a great way to help out. These are available along with any colour wool outside Caroline's house.
Painting Peg Dolls
Our bags are already set up outside Caroline's house. Just pop along, grab a bag which has pegs and paints and get creative!
Making Twine From Scraps
To create another win/win, our lovely Stitcher Emma Juliet has been recycling our fabric left overs and making the most amazing things from twine made out of our scrap pieces. Please see below to find the link to her workshops if you would like to learn how. and collect some scraps from Caroline's.
we make lots of other things...
We do many other things that require no sewing or knitting to help us raise money and help others on the journeys. This little chap is enjoying one of the snuffle mats made for our community summer fayre. (we hope!)
Hedgehog sleeping bags.
We have provided several hedgehog sleeping bags to a local hedgehog rescue centre. fun by one of our amazing Stitchers.
