The Good Yarners

We use yarn to do good and have a good yarn as we make!

Craft sessions aimed at the over 50s to bring people together, have a good natter and share skills with each other. We work together to create temporary and co-ordinated themed art displays around our local neighbourhoods to brighten up the place and people's days, and bring family-friendly activity trails for everyone to enjoy, especially during school holidays.

Our funding is through Selly Oak Neighbourhood Network Scheme which is designed to engage citizens in Selly Oak Constituency age 50+, but if you will benefit from taking part (and a bit younger!) and live in the area, please feel welcome.

Get involved in our next project!
