    Situation

    The Woodworks Project are here to support disadvantaged and vulnerable people to learn traditional woodworking and upholstery skills in an environment that is friendly, supportive and inclusive. Through regular participation in our workshops, people have the opportunity to develop life skills and self confidence. The people who come to our projects make, renovate and upholster furniture, which is then sold in our city centre furniture and antiques shop.

    Solution

    Delivering a series of eight workshops annually, which will each enable ten people to participate and learn traditional upholstering. Each course will teach a different skill set, aligned initially to the content of the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers Upholstery Qualification syllabus. Aimed at people aged 18+ who would like to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
