Wanted to buy: sewing machine for a good cause

I am about to finish a year of mentoring a young person who has expressed an interest in, and aptitude for, sewing. She doesn't have many interests or hobbies, and her life chances aren't particularly spectacular, so as a parting gift, I'd love to leave her with the wherewithal to nurture this interest - ie a basic sewing machine, and a simple instruction / inspiration book to go alongside.


I'm not really allowed to spend money on gifts, but I thought if I could find a basic second-hand sewing machine for very little, then that wouldn't really count :-)


Does anyone have one they no longer use? It would need to be basic and modern (ie not dissimilar to the one she will have used in Textiles classes at school) and in good working order. I'm ideally looking to pay around ?15, which I know isn't much but would be going to a very good home! Happy to collect!


Thanks in advance!

      We are actually referred to as "Supporters"...2,100 of us across Dulwich...read and weep! 😉   https://www.onedulwich.uk/supporters   Got it, the one where 64% of respondents in the consultation area said they wanted the measures "returned to their original state". Is that the one you claim had a yes/no response question?   Well I suggest you read up on it as it is an important part of the story of utter mismangement by the councils and this is why so many of us can't work out who is pulling the council's strings on this one because surely you can agree that if the emergency services were knocking on your door for months and months telling you the blocks in the roads were delayihg response times and putting lives at risk you'd do something about it? Pretty negligent not to do so don't you think - if I was a councillor it would not sit well with me?   Careful it could be a Mrs, Miss or Mx One.....   Of course you don't that's because you have strong opinions but hate being asked for detail to.back-up those opinions (especially when it doesn't serve their narrative) and exposes the flaws in your arguments! 😉  As so many of the pro-LTN lobby find to their cost the devil is always in the detail.....
