Rebuilding the lives of people in prison with the transformative power of needlework.

Joined July 2009
Fine Cell Work is a UK charity transforming lives through the power of needlework โ€“ helping people in prison and post-release build self-worth, skills, and a sense of identity. With 205 Stitcher Awards supported by The Brothers Trust, the impact is real and growing and we are thrilled to have been working together since 2023. At our recent Posh Pub Quiz, we auctioned The Flight of the Swallows โ€“ a beautiful piece of art. Tom was thrilled to be involved in creating this stunning piece of art and pulled in some help, and experience from his neighbour Doreen. Want to learn more and get involved?

VERY excited indeed! The first piece of my collaboration with amazing @finecellwork is READY! Each piece is handmade in prison and takes about 90 hours and comprises around 35,000 stitches, such a labour of love. Read all about FCW here finecellwork.co.uk/pages/ourโ€ฆ

Replying to @finecellwork
@finecellwork Consider buying one of these excellent products stitched by prisoners & then writing a letter of appreciation. People in prison often feel extremely lonely and isolated, & through their actions many have lost touch with their family & friends.A simple letter helps

This was a lovely project- designing Stonehenge for @finecellwork - a brilliant charity / social enterprise who train (paid) prisoners in needlework. All works are handmade by stitchers in British prisons. Feeling honoured so mine gets centre stage on our sofa!
