Year 11 students from Nayland College's Foundation Certificate seeking volunteering opportunities that will allow hands-on experience that contribute to the community. We have around 22 students, and they are a mixture of 15-16-year-olds. We would be open to doing a full class at the same time or we could individualise to the different students. During school hours would be best but we can work around this if we need to. We can have 2 or 3 teachers there to support as well. For more information, please contact Missy Seymour, [email protected]
Community Threads Sewing Machines at Nelson Public Libraries
Nelson Public Libraries now has 6 new sewing machines available for community groups to use Elma Turner Library.
Nelson Public Libraries is very pleased to announce a new initiative that is especially targeted at community groups, called Community Threads. We now have 6 new sewing machines available for community groups to use in the library from mid-March onwards. These are separate from our borrowable sewing machines that are available to the wider public, in that these sewing machines come as a set, can only be used it the library, and come with sewing kits with all the essentials (scissors, pins, measuring tapes, ect.). These set also comes with a space to work in (subject to availability) in our Learning Centre (not to be confused with the larger Rūma Mānuka Activity Room). This service is entirely free and perfect for groups creating crafts or traditional dress for cultural performance, homeschool groups, environmentally focussed re-purposing/recycling initiatives, community art projects, as well as other possibilities.
To enquire about Community Threads please email [email protected] or phone 03 546 8100. We are so happy to be able to connect with you and your future projects.
