Thanks to the generosity of our donors at GlobalGiving, Homeless Diamonds has purchased silk screening equiment and materials that will be used at St Mungo’s Recovery College in Southwark, London. Volunteer experts and trainees with experience of homelessness will offer courses at the College and will also be taking the equipment to outreach sessions in St Mungo’s hostels and in hostels run by other homelessness organisations in London.
Silk screening involves imagination but is also a craft process that is both demanding and satisfying. The results achieved can be worn or used by the maker, a reminder of a significant achievement and a source of confidence and pride to take forward in meeting future challenges.
We’ll report back on this new project as it develops next year. But meanwhile, please enjoy the new issue of Homeless Diamonds which will be launched on 14 December and will be available on-line soon after. People with experience of homelessness have much to offer – get to know some of them in our new edition HD34!
