We want to make a difference through our projects and work. We measure how well we are doing against the following measures:
Outcomes for project collaborators:
More connectedness.
Individual project collaborators will have an increased sense of belonging and connectedness to people, places (and organisations, including us), through taking part in our projects, now and in the future.
More wellbeing.
Individual project collaborators will experience the therapeutic benefits of crafting, will have fun, feel happy, included, proud and valued as individual artists and for their contribution to collaborative artworks when they take part and in the future.
More skill sharing.
More people will learn to stitch as a skill for life, become more confident in their stitching abilities and share skills with others.
Outcomes for communities:
More social cohesion.
People from different cultures, age groups, neighbourhoods and of different abilities will have worked towards a common goal and with shared purpose to achieve greater social cohesion.
More community spirit.
The public artworks stitched by the project collaborators will make a positive impact for the wider community for as long as they are visible.
