Pye Bank CE Primary School celebrated the continuation of its Sewing and Garment Making course after a successful bid to the Lottery’s “Awards for All”.
At the end of the original course the group had to be temporarily suspended awaiting the outcome of the bid. Many of the local women came together to support the application drafting a supporting letter. Their efforts were rewarded and now the school has been able to purchase its own sewing machines, provide tutor support for one year and money towards crèche support.
Bushra Sultana, the tutor of the group, commented, “This is great news for the ladies who enjoy making and designing their own clothes, not only this but it means we can develop more than one group, it’s just fantastic news for the school”. Anyone interested in joining the class can contact the school on 276 0472.
