@finecellwork Work in progress 😊

You have helped us unlock all our matched funding, reaching a final total of £70,795 🙌! ⁠ Thanks to everyone who donated & to the de Laszlo Foundation & Reed Educational Trust for being our champions throughout our @BigGive Christmas Challenge 2025 🙏!

WE DID IT! 🎉 Thanks to 175 amazing donors, we hit our £70k Big Give target — a whole day early! Your support helps people in prison change their futures. Every donation still counts. Thank you for making this our biggest Big Give yet! ❤️ >tinyurl.com/bdhhkv4x

As we continue to grow our work, reaching more people in prison, we need to keep supporting our valuable volunteers & also recruit and train new ones. Donate to our @BigGive to help us support our volunteers: tinyurl.com/ye9vyapx

Fine Cell Work is a UK charity transforming lives through the power of needlework – helping people in prison and post-release build self-worth, skills, and a sense of identity. With 205 Stitcher Awards supported by The Brothers Trust, the impact is real and growing and we are thrilled to have been working together since 2023. At our recent Posh Pub Quiz, we auctioned The Flight of the Swallows – a beautiful piece of art. Tom was thrilled to be involved in creating this stunning piece of art and pulled in some help, and experience from his neighbour Doreen. Want to learn more and get involved?
