Social Projects
Craft Project: BHB Community Banner
The project has been in the planning stage since March 2025, we invited our community to share design ideas and contributions. This project is intended to be a positive, creative activity where members can come together, enjoy making something meaningful, and celebrate the strengths of our community.
Contributions might include stitched words and phrases, crochet, knitting, or other craftwork — as much as your imagination allows. Everyone is welcome to take part. If you don’t feel able to contribute directly, you can still send in a word, phrase, or idea to be included in the final piece.
Jane will bring the project to face-to-face groups and events, and members can also bring or post contributions.
We’re still inviting contributions to our collaborative textile artwork that reflects the Long COVID community’s shared journey.
🧵 Submission deadline: Friday 29th August
🖼 Exhibition: October at The Bureau, Blackburn (part of the British Textile Biennial)
