Bringing your memories to life, one stitch at a time
Clare Wood, founder of Little Bear Keepsakes, creates handcrafted memory bears and keepsakes from cherished clothing, transforming sentimental fabrics into meaningful, lasting treasures.
Art and creativity have always been a part of Clare but it was after the birth of her two children that Little Bear truly began. Wanting to preserve their most precious outfits, she created her first memory bears - beautiful keepsakes filled with love and memories.
Clare was able to invest in her vision and officially bring Little Bear to life with the support of a Build Your Business grant, one to one support and webinars and workshops including:
• How to research my market workshop
• Financial planning for new businesses webinar
• Optimising your website's SEO webinar
Clare also found the community, that BIPC Northamptonshire has built for small business owners in the area, really helpful as she has made new friends and connections through this.
“BIPC Northamptonshire have been instrumental in the launch of my business. The workshops, webinars and one-to-ones gave me the information, advice, and tools I needed to give me a successful start. The access to the research tools was invaluable when writing my business plan."
