When you choose to give…

100% of your donation goes directly to the Weaving Shed project.

We use Zeffy as our donation platform because they do not charge any transaction fees to non-profit organisations and Community Interest Companies. This means every pound you give supports the restoration of the building, heritage activities, and community programmes.

Zeffy may optionally invite donors to leave a voluntary contribution to support their platform, but this is entirely optional and can be adjusted or declined. Thread & Butter Collective CIC receives the full amount of your donation.

Thread & Butter Collective CIC is a registered Community Interest Company, not a registered charity. This means donations are not eligible for Gift Aid. However, every contribution goes directly toward restoring the weaving shed and delivering community heritage activities. Your support has a real and lasting impact.

Your donation supports the careful restoration and reopening of the historic weaving shed at Woodend Mill. This includes essential building repairs, heritage conservation, community workshops, exhibitions, and the creation of a welcoming public space for learning, creativity, and connection. Every contribution helps secure the building’s future and return it to active community use.

Yes. Many supporters choose to donate in honour or memory of a family member, particularly those connected to Mossley’s textile heritage. If you would like your donation to recognise someone special, please let us know when donating. Some recognition options, including the Friends of The Weaving Shed shuttle installation, provide a lasting tribute within the building itself.

The restoration of the weaving shed is part of a carefully planned heritage project. We expect the building to reopen in phases, with community activities and exhibitions beginning during the restoration period, and full public opening anticipated in 2027. Supporters will receive updates as the project progresses.

Yes. You will receive an email confirmation immediately after donating. Supporters who select a recognition or café voucher will also receive a digital acknowledgement, with further details provided closer to the building’s reopening.

All supporter recognitions, including café vouchers and shuttle engravings, will be issued digitally and fulfilled when the weaving shed reopens. We will contact supporters directly with details and updates as the project progresses.

Heritage restoration projects require careful planning and conservation to ensure the building’s long-term future. If timelines change, supporters will be kept fully informed. All recognition and supporter acknowledgements will remain valid and honoured when the building opens.

You can follow progress through our website and social media, where we will share updates, photographs, and stories as the weaving shed is brought back into use. Supporters will also receive key milestone updates along the way.

Community support demonstrates that the weaving shed matters to the people of Mossley. Donations, participation, and shared stories help ensure the building’s future and strengthen applications for heritage funding, enabling us to deliver the project for public benefit.
