About Urban Workbench

Urban Workbench is a We Make Places project which invites local, often marginalised or socially isolated people and groups to develop skills in basic joinery, DIY, furniture making, upcycling and construction, whilst growing their capacity to contribute to positive social activism.

Our learning delivery and live projects offer a 'holistic' approach to skills development, with a primary focus on well-being and self-confidence of individuals and their communities.
