Fine Cell Work Appeal
8TH DECEMBER 2023 - ASU #408
A few weeks ago, in All Stitched Up! issue #402, we shared a little about the life-changing contribution Fine Cell Work makes to prisons in the UK.
Fine Cell Work contributes to the improvement of both the mental health and rehabilitation of individuals who have spent time behind bars.
Teaching prisoners and prison-leavers high quality needlework skills through their rehabilitation programs, Fine Cell Work has formed the largest workforce of hand-embroiderers in all of Europe.
In 2022, 265 individuals returned to work after attending one of these programs. Helping improve the mental health of adults both recently released and currently in prison, Fine Cell Work is sharing the healing power of needlework while helping close the gap between prison and further employment.
