WEST COUNTRY WOMEN AWARDS
“Tara at Fabric Sewn Beautiful for the community award because this award celebrates women who go above and beyond to bring people closer, support the vulnerable, and enhance the quality of life for those living in the South West. Tara has built a business that embodies these qualities more than any other I know within our community.
Tara's impact is rooted in her commitment to accessibility and inclusion. She provides opportunities for people to engage in creative activities regardless of background, experience, or ability, helping to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing.
Tara is committed to helping others, and her business stands out for me as one with community at its heart. I strongly believe she deserves this recognition for her unique and meaningful contribution to her community.”

“Tara Goddard brings something truly special into the lives of elderly residents in care homes across the West Country.
What makes Tara's work so meaningful is the depth of care behind it. For many residents, particularly those living with dementia, the ability to give a gift to someone they love is something they thought they'd lost. Tara has found a way to restore that connection.
I believe Tara embodies the compassionate spirit this award seeks to honour, and I'm proud to nominate her.”
2026 Award Winner
'The Heroes of Industry Award'
INNERVISION MEDIA AWARDS
“This recognition celebrates the work you've developed through Fabric Sewn Beautiful and, in particular, your innovative approach to creating sensory-inclusive workshops for care homes, community groups and adults with learning disabilities across Somerset and Dorset.
What particularly stood out to our editorial team is the purpose behind your workshops. Rather than simply providing an activity, your sessions are designed to encourage calm, connection, choice and a genuine sense of achievement. Your work with people living with dementia and adults with learning disabilities demonstrates how carefully considered sensory experiences can help encourage conversation, trigger memories and allow individuals to maintain a stronger sense of identity and involvement.
Your ability to adapt each workshop around the people taking part, including those who may have very limited confidence or different support needs, reflects a thoughtful and genuinely person-centred approach to wellbeing.”

I am incredibly honoured to be Memovo’s first ambassador, a platform dedicated to helping families to feel guided, supported and seen.
Memovo launched in 2026 and already has multiple care homes and providers signed up. Founded by Tom, Terry and Cordelle; their dream is to change the Dementia landscape, post diagnosis. Currently there is little free or easy to access information for families wanting to learn more to support their loved ones going through this.
Memovo values support, community and trust over everything. that’s what started this journey. They wanted to help by collating this information all in one place, completely free for families to access.
Memovo have already created an simple to use system for families to find the right care home, but their behind-the-scenes plans is what I really love about them. A free resource page is incoming, filled with information and courses for loved ones to educate themselves on Dementia, giving them the tools to best support these new life changes.
I adore the passion they have and am truly proud to be part of it from the beginning. Memovo will not only take the stress away from families looking for support, but it also allows the family member living with Dementia be seen and heard.
When you don’t understand the symptoms someone is going through; it can be hard to be empathetic or talk about it with them. The Memovo platform is bridging that gap, allowing loved ones to learn and understand, enabling families to come together to support each other.
Giving families a trusted placed to find answers and feel supported, creating a true community of people who understand... is priceless.
Here at Fabric Sewn Beautiful, I am all about connection, this is why I love what Memovo are doing. Our values of community, connection and trust align beautifully and I will continue to support them and help raise awareness for families needing that guidance and help.
