Patricia Will OAM, Gabbies Sewing Angels

In the bustling city of Sydney, amidst the whirlwind of everyday life, there exists a group of extraordinary individuals who have dedicated their time, skills, and compassion to make a difference in the lives of many. This group goes by the name of Gabbies Sewing Angels , a community of volunteers who have been sewing garments for a noble cause since their inception in 2001.

Founded by the remarkable Mrs Patricia Will OAM and three other determined ladies, Gabbies Sewing Angels started as a small initiative with a big heart. Fast forward to the present day, and Ms. Will, now 88 years young, continues to lead the charge with unwavering commitment and boundless energy.

What sets Gabbies Sewing Angels apart is their global reach and impact. The clothing created with love and skill by these volunteers finds its way to various charities not just in Australia but across the seas. From Syria, Timor Leste, Fiji and to the Philippines. They have also made garments for bushfire victims and Aboriginal settlements in the Northern Territory. Christmas is a particularly busy time – they make approximately 8,000 garments.

In today's digital age, effective communication and streamlined information technology are vital for any organisation to thrive. Organisations have embraced technology to enhance their reach and impact, leveraging online platforms to connect with volunteers, donors, and partner charities seamlessly.

Let us be inspired by the example of Gabbies Sewing Angels strive to create a more compassionate and caring world, one stitch at a time.
