The Threads Together Charity aims to draw the city’s diverse communities together to produce a unique piece of high-quality stitched art, to celebrate and commemorate the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Due to Covid our planned visits to clubs, churches and community hubs to meet and talk about this project have changed and will be done virtually in various forms.

Through a simple questionnaire, already being distributed and available at www.threadstogether.org.uk, families and communities with connections to any of the 71 participating countries are invited to share their personal recollections and impressions of their home nation and their lives in Birmingham.

The Threads Together Charity’s experienced designer will translate this information into images to be colour printed onto fabric panels which, in turn, will be enhanced with decorativeembroidery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Members of every community will be encouraged to “stitch their bit”.  They can be complete novices or an experienced stitcher, everyone is welcome to try. Those who are beginners and those with forgotten talents are especially welcome.

Following the Games, the panels will form a cultural trail across the City, ensuring the project’s longevity and worth, whilst illustrating the rich diverse history of Birmingham’s citizens.
