The project allows young people work in teams completing makeovers on community buildings over the course of six weeks, they get the opportunity to learn practical painting, decorating and DIY skills from a trained professional and also gain an accreditation in the form of a CSCS card (Construction Skills Certificate Scheme) to help them into employment.
