Valery Touchet runs a sustainable fashion brand, VT creation.
She met Valery at a marketplace event organised by Flourish, a community interest company dedicated to supporting women as a force for social change.
The social economy includes organisations that reinvest profits to achieve a social or environmental mission such as social enterprises, credit unions, and community benefit societies.
The event was an opportunity for women changemakers to connect, support and learn from one another.

A Gilesgate-based shop and community facility, Hexham’s Core Music, launches a separate workshop where up to six people will be trained how to repair guitars and make ukuleles. The European Social Fund grant supported the project and has secured funds through the County Durham Communication Foundation to equip the workshop in Burn Lane.
