January Joinery course for 2

Take on a New Challenge This Year, Learn Woodworking That Makes a Difference

Looking for a rewarding new challenge while learning practical skills? Join us in our fully equipped woodworking workshop and spend the day creating a traditional miner’s cracket stool, a timeless piece you can personalise and proudly take home.

This one-day course is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those with some prior woodworking experience. Learn at a pace that suits you, enjoy hands-on guidance from our experienced instructors, and have fun in a friendly, supportive environment.

But this course offers more than just skills.

For every £40 spent, you help provide a safe bed for the night to someone experiencing rough sleeping. As one of the North East’s leading homelessness charities, we ensure every penny raised through our courses goes directly to supporting those most in need.
