🌟 Volunteer Spotlight – Meet Julie ✂️🧵

As part of , we’re celebrating the incredible people who give their time, skills and energy to ReTweed.

Meet Julie's, one of our amazing volunteers 🙌

In Julie’s words:

"I’ve always done some sort of volunteering, even when I was working full time. I feel that if you can give something back to the community, go for it — you never know when you might need help yourself.

With ReTweed, I love being part of my ReTweed family and seeing how ReTweed changes so many lives. I’ve made so many friendships — with people still at ReTweed and others who’ve moved on but I still keep in touch with.

I don’t have a favourite part — I love being at ReTweed on a Wednesday (usually turning the air blue! 😂), but I also love going out into the community and seeing the delight on people’s faces when they’ve made something."

A huge thank you to Julie, and to all our volunteers (past & present) for your time, laughter, skills, encouragement and support you bring to ReTweed. You help make our community what it is, we simply couldn't do it without you ❤️

Half way through our Community Course at Greenlaw and what a fantastic few weeks it’s been so far! ✨🧵

We started by getting to know each other and learning our way around the sewing machines. In week one, everyone created their own pin cushions and drawstring bags, a brilliant start!

Since then, we’ve moved on to our sample & skills week, followed by making zipped pouches and beautiful luxury tote bags. The creativity and confidence growing each week has been amazing to see.

This week, we begin our appliqué cushions and we can’t wait to watch everyone’s creativity, skills, and personality come to life through their designs. ❤️🪡

All products are made using textiles saved from landfill and are available to buy in the ReTweed shop ♻️ Every purchase helps support ReTweed, with all money made going back into the organisation so more women can benefit from our training courses and opportunities.

Training course funding:
The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland
The Scottish Government
The Robertson's Trust

“Fighte Fuaighte” — an Irish phrase meaning firmly interwoven or intertwined. 🧵

For Mental Health Awareness Week, it’s a reminder none of us are meant to stand alone. 💚

Nothing exists in isolation. Every thread has purpose. Every piece part of something greater. 🧩

We’re all woven together; people, places, and the natural world — part of a shared story. Our environment shapes us, we shape each other, and what we create carries those connections forward. ❤️

To fighte is to protect what we’re part of.
To fuaighte is to mend, to reconnect, to bring harmony back to what was once separate.

At ReTweed, it’s about more than fabric. It’s about linking past and present, respecting where materials come from and creating pieces that honour our connection to each other and the world around us. ♻️🪡

True sustainability is never isolated, it’s built on connection and we’re always stronger together. 🌿🧵

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re celebrating the power of creativity, skills and community. 💚

At ReTweed, we see every day how learning new skills, sharing stories, volunteering and creating together can build confidence, reduce isolation, and support wellbeing. ♻️🧵

A simple conversation, a shared project or making time for something that inspires and uplifts you can make a real difference.

Let’s continue to support each other, strengthen our communities and prioritise our own wellbeing. ♻️❤️
