We are seeking a Sewing Volunteer who can assist with minor clothing repairs of resident’s clothing, including replacing buttons, adjusting hems and minor mending and clothing modifications.
The Sewing Volunteer will carry out the tasks within one of the cottages onsite to add to the home-like environment and enable residents to engage with familiar household tasks. The volunteer is encouraged to invite residents to participate and/or be a part of the activity in whichever way they chose, to foster a sense of dignity and personal satisfaction.
