Welcome to Inara Project News!
Our September paper has all you need to know about what we got up to in summer, what volunteering for us looks like, and our other monthly events. We always welcome new recruits, and you can find out more on how to become a volunteer by looking at our Join Us page.
Just Sew Good at getting creative
Our service users in our latest Sew Good session made some aprons out of materials donated to us by the local community.
They had fun with using patterns and cutting out the different pieces to sew.
Each apron was unique with an array of different colours and designs, and we are always so amazed by the creativity of the service users.
And let’s not forget the little ones who got creative during the creche service we offer too!
We’re looking for some volunteers to help us run our creche service.
All you need to apply is:
experience working with children
A certified DBS Check (which we are happy to assist with)
Contact enquries@inaraproject.co.uk to apply

Here’s how you can help!

facemasks/skincare (plastic packaging)
makeup (no mirrors or glass)

The deadline for donations is 22nd October
Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!
We are taking monetary donations too to support the project from our JustGiving page.

Volunteering for Inara Project
Over the past three years since we’ve begun as a non-profit charity organisation, so many Dorset local residents, and even people from further out, have volunteered with us.
Now, we have different departments where all our wonderful volunteers can work together to plan, budget, advertise, and create the projects and events we hold across the year.
From Sew Good to our Ramadan events, from our socials to our Refugee campaigns — we inspire to uplift everyone we can in the community.
“Inara showed me how an individual can have an impact on the community and how they can do big things with the right support and facilities.” ~ Volunteer
There’s something for everyone at Inara Project, and every form of support is admired by us from you.
