We have, up till now, been operating from a temporary office
& workshop, at the Bromley-by-Bow community centre. However,
we have recently moved in to a new storage yard/worksite, so
we should be able to expand our workforce and provide more volunteering
opportunities.
People's reasons for volunteering, besides the obvious (wanting
to see the project succeed), are many and varied, but largely
fall into 2 categories.
1 Unemployed and wanting to learn new skills.
2 Not looking for work but having free time and/or skills to
offer.(retired, disabled, fulltime parent etc.) |
In
the 1st category Although most of the work entails sorting
and dressing (de-nailing, sanding etc.) the wood, there will
also be opportunities for learning wood skills with handtools
and hopefully power tools (subject to insurance provision).
Volunteers, who show an affinity for the work and are reliable,
will eventually (after 6 months) be invited to join the paid
staff.
In the 2nd category All of the above plus people with carpentry
or design skills to pass on, also people willing to man the
phone or supervise the shop or of course work in the office.
If volunteering interests you
and you live within travelling distance of Leaside (Tower
Hamlets, East London), please do contact us!
