About

Alton Fashion Futures CIC is a Community Interest Company powered by Sawrap, dedicated to empowering young people through fashion.

We support young people who face challenges such as educational exclusion, unemployment, or barriers to opportunity by offering creative workshops in fashion design, sewing, and pattern making.

Through hands-on learning, we help participants build practical skills, confidence, and belief in their abilities — supporting brighter futures and new pathways into education and employment.

​

• Deliver creative fashion workshops that build real technical skills

• Develop confidence and employability

• Provide real-world work experience opportunities

• Support progression into the fashion industry

We use fashion as a tool for empowerment and social change — creating brighter futures, one stitch at a time.
