Welcome to Skills4Work
Welcome to the first blog for our Skills4work project. Although the group has been active doing various projects with the people of South Leeds for the last year or so, we are on a current hold with our latest ESF / Groundwork funded project due to the COVID-19 lockdown and temporary closure of our base at Cranmore Community Centre.
We did look at trying to carry on using online facilities such as Zoom, but it did not really come to fruition due to the mostly practical work we were doing and the difficulty of trying to get people onto the web with the correct equipment.
However, we are hoping that the site will be open sometime this month (June) and we can restart, putting back together the existing groups of participants.
However, in he mean time, we are going to try something new, although it has been on the cards for some time....short videos on some of the practical aspects which we do. Current ideas are: How to drill and screw into wood, how to check the basic checks on a car, how to drill and screw into brick, selecting the correct tools for the job, how to build a small bird box (one of the practical projects we he have done in the past).
We are going to be posting the videos on our You Tube Channel with various links from this blog and the S4W web site
During August, we are contacting all our existing participants and recruiting new ones to join this programme. The centere will be open from sept 14th for f2F activities, although some online will start around 1st sept.
