In October 2016, WellArt art therapist Pat Hay curated an exhibition of a creative stitching project she had done with a group a Syrian Women refugees. This group was funded through Creative Communities (Creative NZ). Most of the women had never used sewing machines before. There was a great outcome for the women as many of them went on to join the Sew Good Social Enterprise Cooperative with Community Unity at Epuni Primary School. Pat says "It was so nice to stitch these women into the community".
