NEW SCOTS SEWING PROJECT
ABOUT
Currently, Syrian and Kurdish New Scots families are donating their time and skills to sew face masks for local Edinburgh community groups. This project both provides an opportunity for the New Scot community to contribute to the pandemic relief efforts and creates pathways for up-skilling and possible employment.
