yet more Skills for life, for work and for living..
In Sep 09 we will open our FOURTH vocational training project to help young people learn construction skills PLUS personal and social development.
Equipping, maintaining and running a workshop for woodwork or plastering, tiling, painting & decorating, plumbing or electrics can cost £40,000 or more to set up and a cool £100,000 a year to run to the highest possible standards. [contact us if you want to know more about our Ofsted report, city & guilds assessments, case histories or parent feedback]
To ensure young people can be engaged & motivated we carry out other youth-led activities like cooking & gardening; construction/painting projects that help the local community; and some social enterprise.
Your donation can buy materials or tools for trainees or pay for other activities.
£100 buys materials for young person to do community projects that help maintain interest and focus while doing a long term city & guilds course with us
£30 pays for 2 cooking sessions for a group of excluded young people to improve confidence, self esteem and independence
