Are you ready to make a meaningful impact with your creativity? The Timekeepers of Kindness is calling on skilled, passionate volunteers to craft steampunk-inspired gear for Stirling and Thistle, our therapy dogs who spread kindness and resilience across the UK.
We urgently need help to:
- Create leatherette, faux leather, or leather covers for their existing harnesses.
- Design functional pouches for Stirling’s harness.
- Sew a detailed cape for Thistle, tailored to his calm and wise persona.
Optional steampunk accents, like gears and clocks, are welcome but not essential. These outfits will help bring Stirling and Thistle’s characters to life and allow us to connect powerfully with audiences at schools and community events.
Please note that as a grass-roots campaign, we cannot provide materials at this time. Volunteers who can contribute their skills and materials will play an essential role in helping us start booking events sooner-your contributions will enable us to launch this mission without delay.
In return, your work will be prominently featured at events, on our website, and across social media as a tribute to your generosity and talent.
Help us kickstart this unique mission to inspire kindness, empathy, and courage. Let’s create something unforgettable-together!
