Northern Community CareWorks is located in a former uniform factory in Preston, so this location has a long history with clothing and fabric!

We decided to use a few years ago was a room we’ve turned into a sewing workshop. We have several machines and some fantastic volunteers who work on a range of projects, including BreatheEasy Bags.

BreatheEasy Bags was created out of a desire to create a sustainable product from upcycled fabric, as well as train people in new skills and introduce a new income stream to support our community-building activities.
