What happened
A group of sewing volunteers at Emmaus Bolton are transforming unwanted denim into a range of handmade products, including teddy bears, dog bandanas, and shopping bags. These creations are sold to raise money for the homelessness charity. Becca, who volunteers at the site, noted that the project is important due to recent heatwaves and water shortages.
