Swansea deaf centre

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the official opening of the refurbihed upstairs of swansea deaf centre on Neath Road in the Hafod. this is a converted old chapel and has needed a lot of work done to it.

So many thanks to Volunteer it yourself (VIQ) and the big lottery for getting the work done (VIQ) and paying for it (big lottery).

VIY combines volunteering and DIY by challenging young people aged 14-17 to learn building and construction skills, on the job, by committing to fix local youth club buildings in need of essential repairs.

VIY volunteers are mentored by professional tradespeople and gain vocational accreditations as well as access to further training, work placements' and apprenticeship opportunities with local employers beyond the project

 

When I was younger this was called on the job training, learning and doing something useful.
