Go Forth & Clyde is seeking 6 enthusiastic Repair Shop Volunteers who would like to pass on their skills to the community in their new project.

They are looking for volunteers who would like to help others learn new skills – this includes people who are just starting a new activity and would like to learn more, and those with skills and hobbies they have been doing for years and would like to show others.

The Repair Shed at Lock 16 will be developing groups in various making and fixing activities, including (but not limited to):

bike repair and maintenance
wood working and making things with recycled wood
DIY and using tools safely
small items repair
rope work and knots (for boaters and others)
boat maintenance
clothing repair and using a sewing machine

This is a brand new project so there is room for volunteers to contribute towards new ideas and forming new groups. Training will be provided. The opportunity is open to those aged 16 years and over (young volunteers can also claim their Saltire Awards).

For further information, including how to apply, please contact Jocelyn Lockhart by email: jocelyn.lockhart@goforthandclyde.org.uk
