Day Care Leavers – DIY Programme

Recently one of our Site Supervisors Matthew Kennedy, was invited by Wates to assist with delivering a DIY taster session on site at Wates - Eastern High.

The sole purpose of this was to provide Day Care leavers with a programme of support, engaging with young people who may not have had the opportunity to gain experience or acquire basis DIY skills. These skills would be of great benefit, especially with most of them at an age where they are now ready to move on and become self-supportive, in their own homes.

The programme lasted for two days and provided them with the opportunity to acquire basic but practical DIY skills including how to put up a shelf and build flat packed furniture.

Thank you to Matthew Kennedy for assisting on such a valuable programme.
