New Episode Out Now

We’re excited to share our latest podcast episode — recorded in a beautifully atmospheric space. A huge thank you to the team who made this possible.

In this episode, we introduce The Little Circular Fashion Designer Academy, an exciting new initiative based in Leeds. This creative programme helps reconnect children with traditional skills like hand stitching, mending, and upcycling — at a time when digital screens are replacing hands-on learning.

As fine motor skills and creative engagement decline, this academy offers a fresh, empowering alternative: one that nurtures imagination, builds confidence, and teaches eco-conscious values from an early age.

Imagine these children growing up to launch their own sustainable businesses, shaped by circular principles and care for the planet.
