As an organisation, Parentskills2go has been able to engage parents and found out that:
- Parent has a desire to learn sewing but find it difficult to read and understand conventional dressmaking patterns especially if they are from migrant communities.
- The cost of learning to sew is expensive for parents on low income
- The lack of childcare provision for parents who want to develop their skills in sewing
