Welcome to Inara Project News!
Our February paper has all you need to know about reminiscing about our Sew Good sessions and the exclusive showcase of the designs from them. We always welcome new recruits, and you can find out more on how to become a volunteer by looking at our Join Us page.
A few words from us
Over the past few months, the situation in Gaza has flooded the news and social media, showing the travesty and horrors the people in Palestine are facing.
Inara Project stands with Palestine.
Half the population in Palestine are children who are suffering torment and injustice, and we watch with a heavy heart the rise in deaths.
Over 60% of those killed in Gaza are women and children. Women, having no access to basic healthcare and hygiene, are struggling to support their pregnancies, resorting to forcefully stopping their periods, and being unable to uplift their poor mental health.
At our core, our values of faith and unity extend to those beyond our local community as well as within, and we are here to support you.
Where you can, please continue raising awareness, donating to trusted fundraisers, boycott companies/products, and pray for the people of Palestine.
With so much misinformation spread, take the time to educate yourselves and those around you.
Sew Good Showcase
After a full year of running our sew good service, we’re sad to see it go.
But we are excited to announce our Sew Good Showcase which celebrates all the amazing things our service users made.
From makeup pouches and scrunchies, to pillows and aprons; a range of skills were learnt by the women who attended.
The best memories were made, bringing together vulnerable members of the community, alongside volunteers who wanted to make a change in Dorset by creating an opportunity for connection and sisterhood.
We also can’t forget the little ones who impressed with their artistic skills during our creche services.
There’s so much to say about Sew Good. As one of the longest projects we’ve don’t to date, we’re also hopeful to bring about more opportunities to foster relationships with the community in the future.

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
