Description:
Another Flag Ship project from Lizard Outreach Trust. This project takes
groups of mainly women, although not exclusively, through various elements
of DIY including: Plumbing, Carpentry, Interior Decorating and uses
various equipment including circular saws and air tools and led to the
invention of the leaky toilet system! This project bestows a great sense
of empowerment and classes have been attended by 14 - 84 year olds.
We have also taken the BiG groups to London to visit WEB(see projects
list on right).
Project cost: £3,500 per class per year
Quote from Student: "I
never dreamt I'd be able to use those tools, but I don't think about
it now. We all work together in a friendly atmosphere, and I'm quite
proud of what I've done"
