Her✂️Story Entwined

Quilt Project Celebration

Her'Story Entwined Quilt Project
Project Video: Her'Story Entwined Quilt Creation Process

The Journey

Over 6 amazing weeks, our group of women came together to create something truly special. Each week, they reflected on their personal stories and expressed them through fabric, colour, and texture — every panel unique and meaningful 💜

Week 7 Celebration

In week 7 we had our celebration to reveal our final piece. We also surprised the group with a drumming session led by Cheikh from Rhythm Generation 🥁 — lots of laughter, energy, and some fantastic sounds filled the room!

The Final Revelation

In our final week, the women named the quilt 'Her'Story Entwined', celebrating how their individual stories were stitched together in unity and strength. The finished quilt surpassed all expectations and stands as a beautiful symbol of connection and shared achievement.

Liberty Springboard aims to create a supportive environment

The Community Interest Company (CIC) focuses on empowering women to overcome barriers, reach their maximum potential forge meaningful connections and build trust with peers and mentors. Liberty Springboard emphasises that positive relationships are the foundation for change.

Liberty Springboard's Services

Liberty Springboard's focus on women with a history of involvement in the criminal justice system aligns with broader efforts to address the unique challenges faced by this population. The organisation's approach is particularly relevant given recent developments in women's justice reform: The Women's Justice Board, launched on January 21, 2025, aims to reduce the number of women in prison and cut reoffending rates. This initiative recognises the specific needs of women in the criminal justice system, mirroring Liberty Springboard's mission.
