Description

FREE RESOURCE:  CAREERS IN FASHION & TEXTILES

We are offering these resources free of charge, but if you would like to donate to our ongoing support of textiles education, we would really appreciate it.

Textiles Skills Centre is managed by a small team of volunteers, who develop free resoures and support teachers through the Textiles Teachers Centre and other networking activities.
At the moment all costs are met by our team and time is given freely. Your donations, however small, will help to enhance and continue providing this support and resources.

A Donation of £20  (per teacher) would mean that we can pay for the website and newsletter costs, as well as having some funds to pay for travel to important meetings to represent teachers.
