In partnership with BOOST employment and training services, one of our contractors Quinn London, delivered DIY workshops for residents from across the borough in June and August this year. Training was given in essential tiling, and painting and decorating skills from their professional operatives. The events were lively and engaging. Here’s what some residents had to say
“7 Stars! You guys have been brilliant with excellent instruction and such generous hospitality.”
“This has been a wonderful experience; it took the fear out of DIY”
Bianca Mesura, Social Value Officer for Quinn London said, “Quinn London has delivered these workshops to empower residents by making DIY renovations more accessible. This initiative enables them to effectively maintain their homes and undertake minor DIY projects, fostering self-sufficiency and community resilience.”
The response to these workshops has been really positive, with a waiting list for future DIY workshops in the pipeline. To register your interest in attending email charmaine.carr@barnethomes.org or call 020 8359 2632.
