**Notice: event postponed due to amber weather warning** ☀️🚨

We've been keeping an eye on the weather warnings ahead of this weekend's How To: Mend Clothing event in Raphael Park, and unfortunately an amber alert has come into place for Saturday.

As the workshop is outdoors, we have sadly taken the decision to postpone the event, so we aren't putting attendees and event hosts at risk in travelling and being outdoors in harsh conditions.

We're very sorry for any disappointment caused - this event will be rearranged to a new date as soon as possible.

🧵Keen to start your clothing repair journey? We still have some tickets available to our next workshop on Saturday 4th July at The Up Garden in Forest Gate 💚Book your place 👉www.eastlondonwaste.gov.uk/whatson
