About us

Welcome to Skilled Hands Organization CIC, where empowerment takes shape through the artistry of skilled crafts We're not just a community interest company; we're a transformative force fostering self-reliance and confidence in women. Our vibrant workshops, spanning dressmaking, soap making, bag making, millinery, and jewellery crafting, go beyond mere skills - they're a journey to empowerment.

At Skilled Hands, we believe in the power of artisanal crafts to weave stronger communities. We're not just teaching crafts; we're crafting futures. Our mission is to break barriers for women facing unemployment, caring responsibilities, or financial challenges. Through these engaging workshops, we're not just reducing loneliness and mental health issues; we're stitching a supportive community fabric.

Picture this:
women, once facing hurdles, now turning threads into dreams. Our workshops aren't just about creating beautiful items; they're about crafting futures. We're not just handing out skills; we're handing out independence.
By nurturing these talents, we're sowing the seeds for small businesses to blossom, creating a ripple effect of economic empowerment.

Skilled Hands isn't just an organization; it's a catalyst for change. We're here to amplify voices, bolster confidence, and turn aspirations into reality.
