From West Kent YMCA Upcycling Project
The Upcycling Centre provide training for young people in upcycling skills, working with furniture and bikes.
They see their projects through from beginning to end - from deciding which piece and carrying out the work, to pricing and selling the finished project. Young people also learn valuable business and employability skills, such as administrative and IT tasks, promotional and marketing skills, financial awareness, Health and Safety training, customer service skills, team building and business development.
We work together closely as a team to support, train and encourage them to grow and become more independent.
