We create opportunities for young people in our workshops, teaching them a variety of practical skills and life skills. Our students are often lacking in confidence and not engaged with their academic life. Our skilled staff and volunteers encourage them to engage in projects predominantly using wood, metal, and other creative materials such as glass. Through this they have the opportunity to learn new things and have a different kind of focus.

The HYSA grant was hugely beneficial in allowing us to upgrade the tools we use, this has meant the students can see the advantage of using more up to date equipment and learn to use tools that are contemporary with the working world. Using more efficient tooling also enables the students to complete more complex projects.

We really appreciate the HSYA grant and the benefits that we can pass on to our students is immensely valuable.
