Thanks to the generous support from a trust we are making plans that will engage young people in learning new skills and enterprise.
In brief we aim to transform half of the centre into work shops and the other half as the drop in. The workshops will aim to offer NVQ level 1 or similar qualifications to young people over the year, with six young people setting up a business at the end with our continued support.
Our first plan is to make flowerboxes and pyography (burning patterns into wood) which will be the development of a project that we have already tested and that has gained a lot of interest. After the first year we would change the workshops to a new skills set so that the young people have a chance to make a go of the new business without us flooding the market.
This project takes us into new territory as an organisation by working to offer recognised qualifications in order to really help young people with their job prospects.
The workshops should also enable us to generate some income through the training and ensure that the building is used to its maximum benefit.
We will keep you updated on the progress of this so watch this space.
PS Do you have a skill you could offer to share in this respect? If so, let us know.
