Blossom
Women learning, laughing and growing together
Blossom is the women’s group at Ashes to Gold. It is steered by a group of women of all ages and backgrounds, and it gives women a place to socialise, learn new skills and support one another.
About
How Blossom began
In January 2022 we became Northern Ireland’s first collection hub for Love Grace, a campaign that gives handbags of essentials to women moving into refuge. In April 2022 we decided to do more, and Blossom began. Members have since donated more than 500 handbags.
Since then it has grown into a lively, supportive community, with DIY and woodworking, cookery, gardening and days out.
What we offer
DIY and woodworking
From picking up a drill for the first time to finishing a project, including our four-week Hen’s Shed course.
Cookery
Cooking and sharing good food together.
Gardening
Time outdoors, growing and harvesting.
Days out
Such as our mystery bus tours, where the destination is a surprise.
Friendship and support
A chance to meet people and feel part of something.
The Bobbins
What began as a sewing class became a community. The Bobbins bring women together to connect, create, support one another and give back.
Who it’s for
All women are welcome, whatever your age, background or experience. You don’t need to know anyone, and you don’t need any skills.
Blossom doesn’t have a fixed base. We meet in different places, and each event lists where to go.
