We've postponed all our worskhops, and offered everyone to rebook into a future date for free. We'll make sure everyone gets to make their own shoes as soon as we can.
Good Beans are looking for someone to work with them! They're a wonderful team working on social and environmental impact - what a lovely opportunity ๐๏ธโจ
Don't let the title put you off - contrary to popular opinion you don't need loads of qualifications or loads of time to be director, especially with the Boundary Community Launderette. You just need to care about our community. Closing date tomorrow, Friday 28th February.
It was back in June 2018 that we partnered with the social enterprise @JutaShoes, and we've loved working with them! They support unemployed women in the local community to create beautiful handmade products.
