FINE CELL WORK LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31- DECEMBER 2025 When joining the stitching classes, almost all have no prevlous experience so are learners. They stsrt by working on a sampler and on pracllc& klts which are kept as a ￿nI of r8f8r8nc8 for dlfferenl stitches and as keepsakes. Once confident and competent Sn their stitching, they become beginner level stolchers and are able stilch FCW kits. Stitchèrs are then paid for their work which requires neat bLrt baslc stitching lo create Items that wll be sold. BuSlding on stil¢hing skill allows for stltchers to be more trusted with their work and taka on more difficult and important pleces. On av8rage, it takes stitchers nearty five months to progress from being a learner lo a beginner, months to progress from belng a beglnner to intemiedlate and nearty seven months lo progress from inlermediale to advanced. In total, on average. il will lake a stitcher just over 18 months lo bewme proficAenl which demonslrales the benefit ol long-lerm engagement wilh the programmo.

This sense of inclusion in the broader community is a keyfactor in building self-respecl 8nd resilien￿.

The programme recognis8s and rewards the loyally and dedication of experienced stitchers by enabllng them to conunue working wllh the charity. Workshops: sewSng and embroidery machine training and commerclal production is undertaken in two workshops. one full-time. one part-￿rne, laught by prison and FCW staff. We have worked in our full-time workshop in the men's estate for 15 yèars making up the work siltchèd In cells into products for sale- predominandy cushions, bag5, giftware and tsbleware. In March 2025, we sel up a workshop in a women's prison lo deliver wider training. work eX￿ance and the opportunty for posl-release support. The wide rang8 of activities require many skills and are Ihe anlilhesis of the repelilive tasks of prison texliles workshops.

Whilst thls was credibl8, 11 was disappointing after the 8% growth In 2024 on the previou5 year.
