Welcome to the Hanwell 'Our Bigger Story' website. This is part of the multi media evaluation of 15 Big Local areas in England. The website is an opportunity to follow what is changing in Hanwell as a result of Big Local over a ten year period.
The aim of the website is to share the learning from everything that is happening in Hanwell with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.
Hanwell Big Local funded the sewing course for 4 weeks for the residents living in the HBL area. They learnt how to use a sewing machine and how to alter and upcycle clothes, Attendees made different projects some made bags and dresses. Participants really enjoyed the course, the feedback was that it was very interesting and well organised. The tutor Gilly was nice, friendly and helpful.
