Absolutely over the moon to have an article on our Clothing Repair Workshops published in the Daily Mail last week. Our workshops, focussed on teaching corporates repair skills, are run by members of The Kundakala Collective who earn an income through this work. Do support us

It's Circular Economy Week and Kundakala participants are doing what they do best - repurposing old garments to make new items. Here a participant has changed an old dress into a sling bag and very cleverly incorporated the dress buttons. #circulareconomyweek #reuse #repurpose

Kundakala was founded on a simple belief: that practical skills can transform lives. Today, our new report 'Mend the Gap: Britain’s Clothing Repair Crisis and the Workplace Opportunity' reveals just how urgently those skills are needed. Read our report and take action today!

At Barclays Bank yesterday to deliver our Clothing Repairs Workshop to members of staff. Lovely location, lovely participants, and lots of learning on how to perform some quick fix repairs at home. More info on the workshop coming soon! #kundakala #repairs

We were delighted to run a pilot Clothing Repairs Workshop offering hands on training to staff members of the Climate, Sustainability, and Environmental Services team of @HackneyCouncil this morning. More information on the workshops to follow soon! #kundakala #stoptextilewaste

Our Hackney Make and Mend cohort is learning all about attaching zips by making these very professional zippered pouches. #kundakala #sewingmachine #sewing

A packed morning at our Lambeth venue in Colombo Centre Gym where we did a show and tell for a visitor from @citybridgefoundation ; used patterns to cut out our garments; had a yoga session; and then had lunch very kindly organised by @coinstreet_se1 #kundakala #whatfun #sewing

Our Make and Mend participants across all our centres are busy making curtain samples using different techniques. #kundakala #sewing #sewingproject #curtains

When our sewing tutors speak there is a pin-drop silence and intense focus in the room! This is a session in progress at Colombo Centre in Waterloo. #kundakala #sewingmachine #sewing

At Kundakala we create a lot of products in our programmes, training participants on making items to a very high professional standard. Please support us by buying from us! This beautiful photo has been taken by Mickey Lee @mediamixeruk

At the South Bank and Waterloo EcoFest run at St John's Church. We are providing free repairs to the community. If you are in the vicinity and have something that needs repair, do drop in! #ecofest #stopfastfashion‼️ #stoptextilewaste

First week back at our centres in Barnet, Camden, Islington, Hackney, and Lambeth and it's business as usual: delicious halwa, lots of biscuits, a birthday cake, and loads and loads of cutting, (creative) journaling, and sewing. #kundakala #sewing

Back to school with a bang! Our programmes across London commenced on Monday. It's lovely to be back with our friends again! At Hackney we were delighted to celebrate the 70th birthday of our Maggie who heads up our Kundakala Collective Repairs Cafes.

We've spent a lovely time this summer taking stock, collecting feedback and quotes, cataloguing photos and videos to tell you and (us!) the story of what we've done over 2025-26. You can read about it all in the flip book report here - kundakala.aflip.in/socialimp…

We have one place available on this programme. Sessions are held every Monday in term time from 9.30 to 12.30. If you are a Lambeth or Southwark resident and from a low-income, ethnically diverse background, do register your interest share.hsforms.com/1yinbW3qxR…

Pre-programme prep @pemburycommunitycentre We will be back to delivering six Make and Mend programmes after the summer break. It's going to be busy, busy, busy....and very fulfilling. #kundakala #sewing

Kinda chic to go to Job Centre Plus @hackneycouncil and give a public talk on Kundakala programmes😍. #kundakala #sewing

REPAIRS WITH A SMILE! We are back at @sustainableventures today running our Repairs Cafe for members of the shared workspace. #kundakala #repairscafe #stopfastfashion‼️#stoptextilewaste

Although our sewing programmes are closed for the summer, it's so nice to see participants apply the techniques that they've learnt. Here a participant from Barnet has borrowed her neighbour's sewing machine to make mini "concealer" curtains for her kitchen trolley!
