A business owner in Barrow is getting ready for a 12-hour sewing marathon for charity.

Jenny Fazackerley, who runs Jenny Stitches on Dalton, will be completing the challenge from noon on Thursday, November 7 as part of the Big Sew Off 2024.

All the money raised will be going to the national fundraiser, which is once again supporting Mind, a mental health charity.

Whilst Jenny sews for 12 hours straight, she is hoping that plenty of other people will come on the day and join in with their own projects.

She added: "12 hours is a long time so feel free to pop in for a coffee and a chat to show us some encouragement

"Cash donations will be accepted on the day and online donations can be made via our donation page."

There will also be a raffle on day, with ticket sales helping boost donations and, for those who cannot make it to the hub, parts of the marathon will be live streamed across social media.
