We need the help of a joiner or carpenter, perhaps an avid DIY person to help us with some wooden panelling at our craft centre on Oxford Street in Harrogate.
We also need lots of wooden frames making for paper making kits for our disabled artisans to make paper in their homes whilst they are isolating and unable to come to the craft centre.
The chevron paneling and frames require a certain level of carpentry skill so someone with experience would be helpful.
As our team is currently mainly working from home, there is lots of space for a volunteer to be able to come and work safely at a time convenient to everyone. We are very flexible, this can be during the day, evening or weekend.
It would be preferable if you have your own equipment, although we do have some here, and any expenses will be reimbursed and refreshments will be provided.

During the coronavirus outbreak weekly craft sessions have not been taking place but the team has been delivering emergency craft packs to differently-able children and adults. There is a buddy service with friendly volunteers, to regularly phone and provide ongoing support. They have also produced some YouTube videos of crafts you can do in your own home with simple at hand materials. Check their facebook page for the latest information.
