Hands-on Learning delivered by Volunteer Skilled Craftsmen
We carefully review Policies and Risk Assessments and will continue to do so, following any Covid guidance issued by Government and Education regulators. We do our best for the young people whose lives are beset with difficulties, so that they can find optimism, calm and fulfillment while learning to use their hands, in our Craft Workshops.

*** ***
The aim of Skillway is to motivate and instil confidence in disadvantaged or disengaged young people by teaching them practical craft skills in a workshop environment. The students we work with are generally finding it hard to accept and work within the very academic environment of school, or are home-tutored.
The students enjoy our ‘hands on ‘ learning delivered by volunteer skilled craftsmen, with long standing experience of their specialist trades. The students are treated as young adults in an environment unlike school and are prepared for the world of work, and/or further training in specialist Colleges, or Apprenticeships
Three Well-equipped Specialised Workshops
The workshops are housed in the disused chapel buildings of Nightingale Cemetery. We have three workshops : one is the hub for woodworking and joinery crafts, another is set up with professional metalworking and basic engineering equipment and the third houses the Creative Arts, and conservation skills courses.
