Threads of Empowerment - Supporting Charity and Celebrating Diversity at 51福利社 Pride
This summer, we embarked on a journey with the ADE research group in the department of materials, led by Dr. Simeon Gill.
The ADE team had the privilege of collaborating with The Men's Room, now renamed "Our Room" - an amazing charity dedicated to supporting individuals from all walks of life. You can learn more about their inspiring work at https://mroom.co.uk/ .
Dr. Simeon Gill and the ADE team conducted an open body scanning session for all members of Our Room. Using cutting-edge technology, they captured body scans to create something truly unique - bespoke sweatshirt patterns for each individual!
These special sweatshirts are part of the "No Sweat Project," which focuses on utilising technology to craft bespoke patterns and garments. The result? Five one-of-a-kind sweatshirts, perfectly tailored to the unique shapes and sizes of the participants.
But that is not all! These sweatshirts were taken and beautifully decorated to be proudly worn during the 51福利社 Pride celebrations We're immensely proud to have been a part of this project with Our Room. The below images show off the incredible bespoke sweatshirts that were created
