Sewing Hub – Chard Community Hub

Boden center, Boden street

Chard

Our aim is to repair & reuse clothing etc instead of throwing away. Sewing Hub isn’t just…

About our group

We are a group of local volunteers, bringing together our skills to share. We aim to reduce waste and the need to buy new items by mending bikes, appliances, clothing, clocks and all sorts of other things. There is also the opportunity to learn new skills as repairers are able to teach how to maintain and mend. Our team of keen bakers offer a delicious selection of cakes and biscuits which makes the whole event a thoroughly enjoyable community gathering.

In some planters are canes growing peas. All plants appear to be seasonal summer vegetables. To the back right of the image are some sheds and the community allotment continues right through the image
