Hands-on Learning delivered by Volunteer Skilled Craftsmen

The aim of Skillway is to motivate and instil confidence in disadvantaged or disengaged young people by teaching them practical craft skills in workshop environments. 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. We also have a woodland area, accessed with our Crew Bus, where students experience “Skillway Outdoors”
