CIC34 – Activities and Impact Summary (Feb 2024 – Feb 2025) 1. Circular Handspun Project Khadi London continued its collaboration with Where Does It Come From?, Khamir, and Conserve India as part of the Circular Handspun initiative, exploring the recycling of waste textiles through heritage khadi crafts of hand spinning and hand weaving. The project focused on social uplift, environmental impact, and the creation of luxury handcrafted fabrics and products. This first stage has been to explore a decentralised process for recycling waste fabrics. Waste pickers, spinners and weavers were directly benefited through training, knowledge exchange and earnings as participants in the exercise. As the exploration progresses further there is a potential for creating large scale benefits to local communities through scaling up and out across India and other countries globally. There are also environment benefits related to managing waste in situ rather than moving it elsewhere. The work was funded by the British Council and run by the University of the Arts London (FTTI). In December 2024, the project was showcased at the British Council in Delhi and at in February 2025 at Bharat Tex, a major government-run event in India. Members of the Khadi London team travelled to India both for Bharat Tex and to visit partner organisation Khamir in Gujarat. The project has created significant benefits for our stakeholders, including participation opportunities, international showcasing, and broader audience reach. UK Government representatives visited the project on two occasions. 2. Sanja Stories Collaboration Khadi London continued its involvement in the Sanja Stories initiative, contributing knowledge on heritage textiles and facilitating sourcing. The Sanja Stories team, including Khadi London, hosted a launch event in London and our team travelled to Jaipur, India to visit Mishika Crafts, where the garments will be made. We also met with Udyog Bharti during the India trip, who are producing the khadi denim fabric for the project. This collaboration strengthens our community-building work in the UK by engaging people with regenerative fibres, sustainable fashion, and heritage-crafted textiles. Our partners in India who are working on the fibre farming, fibre preparation, spinning, weaving and product development benefit not only through earnings but also through knowledge sharing, training and being part of a collaborative global team and transparent business model. As with Circular Handspun there are also environmental benefits through working with regenerative fibres and very low carbon production, which is preserving heritage skill at the same time. As the project continues into 2025-6 and the first productions are run, the benefits to our community will grow and widen. 3. Expansion of Consultancy Work To support long-term organisational sustainability, Khadi London expanded its consultancy services as a revenue-generation stream. This included a consultancy project with UK Pasture Leather for a major client. This work builds our professional capacity while reinforcing our mission to support regenerative and ethical textile systems. 4. Talks, Workshops and Skills Training Throughout the year, Khadi London delivered talks and practical workshops at a range of public and industry events, including Marangoni Regenerative Fashion Day and The Garden Museum. These sessions helped broaden public understanding of regenerative fibres, ethical craft, and sustainable value chains. We also purchased a number of peti-charkhas to assist in our hand spinning demonstrations. 5. UCL Student Collaboration We continued our annual collaboration with University College London (UCL). This year’s student project focused on exploring ways to expand and strengthen Khadi London’s consultancy offer. This partnership provides valuable learning opportunities for students while supporting our organisational development. 6. Building New University Partnerships Khadi London strengthened its relationship with UAL FTTI through the Circular Handspun project and engaged in promising discussions with a number of UK universities. These conversations explored potential collaborations to share knowledge about regenerative fibres and heritage textiles with students across disciplines and to collaborate on research. 7. Community Events Khadi London hosted several community-based activities during the year, including a picnic in Greenwich Park and a large group meal at the O2. These events help nurture and sustain the Khadi London community, supporting social connection and shared learning.
Khadi London has a small group of advisors as representatives of our community. These people support the Directors as required with decision making and business facilitation. Khadi London also has a large community Whatsapp Group where we share news, discussions and information on projects and events. We endeavour to involve our community with all our projects, including as participants or through collecting and considering points of view. We hold many in person meet ups throughout the year which encourage informal discussion across a range of topics and ensure that there is an opportunity to feed in thoughts and ideas.
