Activity Highlights
The Remakery - Our Remakery provides a safe, creative space for art and crafting inspiration – to upcycle, recycle, reuse and divert from landfill. We breathe new life into unwanted items, upcycling with trained professionals creating new work for sale, commissions and teaching others how to do so themselves. Remakery: Climate Challenge Champions Programme
We are keen to involve young people in the Remakery and by coming to volunteer you will enter into a ‘contract’ where we will work with you to develop a range of new skills and learn about ways you can help tackle the climate challenge in your community.
The volunteer placement scheme is staged to help ensure you are safe at every point of your training plan – starting in the Remakery and then moving through to work in the warehouse, shop, deliveries, reception and office as planned by the young person.
The Volunteer Coordinator will help arrange relevant training along the way to ensure you get the support you need to find longer term prospects in the community.
The Climate Challenge Champion programme it open to anyone up to 25 years old.
Our volunteers will have the opportunity to learn new skills, and put them into practice in many ways, including through our Volunteer Training Programme for young people with barriers to work. This will incorporate in-house training, certified courses, and mentoring to develop a diverse range of skills, centred around the climate challenge emergency.
