The project is involved in the renovation and refurbishment of empty
properties and community buildings, achieved through working with
young people from the local area (East Cleveland / North Yorkshire)
to renovate these properties. The residential properties are then
rented by young people in the local community who have the opportunity
to live in affordable and high-quality homes.
The project also undertakes building works for community and voluntary
organisations in the local area; such as renovating village halls
and sports clubs.
During their time with the project, young people have the opportunity
to learn and develop skills in various building trades, e.g. plumbing
and joinery.
The project also offers opportunities for personal development
in a supportive and friendly environment. Courses whilst on the
project aim to build confidence and experience into the young people.
The project works with training providers to ensure that the young
people have access to a wide variety of learning experiences.
