Support Us
There are loads of ways that you can make a real difference to the lives of those affected by early life trauma…
Donate
This pot of money allows us to provide subsidised Growing Me toolkits for families in need. Support a child and their care-giver on a therapeutic journey to build understanding and closeness. Any donations very gratefully received.
Making Days
Held on the 3rd Friday of every month in our studio in Derby, Making Days are full of fun, food, folding, wrapping, sewing tasks and a warm welcome! We're based in Banks Mill Studios, in central Derby.
Group Sessions
If you're family or your sewing group or community based organisation would like something a bit different, do get in touch - we design bespoke making days where folk help us out with making jobs, whilst learning about what we do!
Admin, Advocating & more!
There's a lot to running a social enterprise - from admin and cleaning, to bid writing, preparing for making days, advocating and more. If you have a passion for helping children thrive, please do get in touch...
Corporate Social Responsibility
Would your organisation benefit from some socially responsible team building?
Growing Me can tailor a making day to the needs of your group: There's a lot of simple activities to make and package toolkits. Or there's opportunities for people to use their problem solving and design skills, if more of a challenge is needed...
Work Experience
We are passionate about helping young people, particularly those who have experienced early life trauma to build the skills and confidence needed to enter the workplace. If you are a budding writer, organiser, or co-ordinator wanting to build up your CV in a really supportive environment, please get in touch...
