Tools for Self-Reliance is looking forward to a busy and social spring, and we would love to see more local people getting involved with what we do.
Join us on National Quilting Day on Saturday, 21st March, when we’ll be holding a special sale. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who enjoys sewing or quilting to pick up materials, plus there will be a Siddi Quilting demo.
We also have our popular Spring Quiz Night, which will take place on Friday, 8th May at Netley Marsh Community Hall. The quiz is always friendly and suitable for teams or individuals. Tickets cost £15 and include pizza, making it an easy and enjoyable evening out.
We have a variety of workshops with Craft2Craft that run 2pm-4pm:
Granny Square Crochet Workshop – Thursday 19th April
Decoupage Workshop – Thursday 21st May
Tickets are £15pp, for each workshop and include all materials and tea and cake.
If you haven’t visited us before, we also encourage people to drop by our on-site shop, the Renew Store. The shop stocks a wide range of haberdashery items, fabrics, tools and all sorts of useful and interesting things, with stock changing regularly. We are currently open on Mondays and Thursdays from 10am to 3pm, and Fridays from 10am to 1pm.
We also offer a tool sharpening service, including garden tools, which is particularly handy at this time of year as people start preparing their gardens for spring and summer. Drop off and collections are on Mondays.
Finally, we are always on the lookout for new shop volunteers. Extra help would allow us to open the Renew Store more often. If you have a bit of time to spare and would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch to find out more.
For any questions, or to book the quiz or a workshop, please email fundraising@tfsr.org or call 02380 869697. It would be great to have your support!
