Mend It Don’t Rag It is about making a real difference. Each repair, adaptation, or upcycled garment helps reduce clothing waste and supports a more sustainable future. Through volunteering, skill-building, and shared action, we are empowering people to take positive steps for the environment while strengthening connections within the community.
We are looking for volunteers to help with sewing repair tasks. This includes sorting clothes, repairing garments, and making simple adaptations so items can be reused. Tasks are broken into small steps, and support is available.
Community is central to everything we do. We create welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can learn, share skills, and work together. Volunteers are supported at every stage, whatever their experience or confidence level. We believe everyone has something to contribute and that learning should happen at a pace that feels right for each person.
We are looking for anyone over the age of 18 with "some sewing experience".
We have a pathway through this Volunteering Programme to move you towards the labour market. When volunteering here you will be within a real working manufacturing environment so you will begin to build real work experience whilst you study!
