Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.

By pledging instead of paying, we reach our goal quicker and you get something back in return! Please help us to update "The Workshop" facilities @ 58 High St Waltham Cross EN8 We want to: - Purchase exterior advertising to brighten up the high street in Waltham Cross - Equip & decorate the space with proper workshop facilities - offer free workshop sessions to local residents Its a fun and creative way for Broxbourne Residents to learn new skills whilst reusing & saving money! Meet others in the community and maybe even start your very own trading business! Why it's a great idea √ Minimum Staff √ Volunteer-run √ community cohesion √ Getting people back into work/education √ Creative volunteering & job opportunities √ Builds Confidence √ Teaches new skills √ Open to all √ Positive Feedback from Facebook Followers √ Popular demand for 'upcycled' furniture √ REUSE, √ RECYCLE, √ SAVE WASTE, √ SAVE MONEY!

What we'll deliver:

  • Create a fun, modern and engaging community space to entice membership & encourage education
  • Introduce Metal Manipulation Classes to the local community
  • Create Community Hub - "The Workshop" Space
  • Create Exciting, Visually Attractive and Interactive High Streets
  • Run Upcycle Classes to Local Communities
  • Save thousands of tonnes of large, usable items from landfill
  • Support residents who wish to get into work

Why it's a great idea:

Our ethos is empower people! Increase awareness of how to use tools & other electric DIY equipment so women especially can feel confident using these in their home. Ex-offenders can also use the workshops to help integrate themselves back into society. Elderly, disabled and otherwise lonely/isolated members of the public can take part in light arts and craft. By providing the tools, materials, equipment, project deliverers and work space we can teach vital transferrable skills & build confidence in people. This in turn helps to regenerate the community. Techniques such as Welding and Metal Manipulation can help people gain valuable experience if considering careers/study to work on the railways and highways. Promotes recycling! We will be able to widen the current criteria of items we can accept under the CIC's free house clearance service (FHC). This means that we can also remove damaged, broken, repairable items. The space will be visually attractive to brighten up our local high st

Steps to get it done:

  • Buying Materials & Equipment
  • Minor aesthetic refurbishment of space
  • Weekday Courses in Sustainable Environment
  • Weekday Practical Upcycling Courses
  • Weekend Open Day Exhibition

Being able to take pride in your home inspires and encourages people to keep their properties presentable to a high standard. Decorating and furnishing your home mirrors self-respect and confidence. A lot of funding is directed towards housing but once tenants have been housed there is often little support for furnishing. We believe that by providing affordable, great-quality furniture leads to people living a better quality of life despite being limited by severe lack of income. By supplying furniture painting workshops we can teach people new skills including the innovative art of upcycling furniture to brighten up your everyday space! Its about bringing together all backgrounds of the community through a common love of home, family & Interior design. The market is innovative and trending whilst championing thriftiness and recycling! Its an opportunity for local residents to break language barriers in a creative, friendly & fun environment. Build bridges & learn something new!
