The latest 'Build Yourself' project has given a new lease of life to a community venue and opened up "a whole word of opportunity" to young volunteers.
A staircase and landing area at The Pelham, in Sidley, has been renovated by the 'Build Yourself' project. This means the venue can now use the refurbished ballroom upstairs as a community space for hire.
'Build Yourself' is a community project run by Fresh Visions, the charity hosted and supported by AmicusHorizon. The project gives low waged and unemployed 18-24 year-olds the opportunity to learn DIY skills.
Build Yourself also offers opportunities to gain a Construction Skills Certification Scheme card, the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry.
