Outreach Community CIC and Outreach Homes experienced a remarkable transformation with the help from The Screwfix Foundation and Volunteer It Yourself.

Volunteer It Yourself is an organisation that challenges young people aged 14-24 to learn trade and employability skills through fixing local youth and community facilities in need of essential repairs and improvements.The Screwfix Foundation is a grant-giving charity with a clear purpose to support projects that improve, repair, and maintain homes and community facilities used by those in need throughout the UK.

With a grant of £21,000 from The Screwfix Foundation, Outreach Homes was transformed into a warm, welcoming environment where vulnerable young people in the care system can find safety and comfort during challenging times. Each room was personalised and equipped with bright colours, to make it a warm and inviting space, where the young people can feel comfortable.

Several residents at Outreach Homes earned a qualification from City and Guilds as recognition for the incredible effort and active participation in the renovation project.
