Project leaders have been hard at work over the last few months fitting out their workshop in the old Oz Centre, near the Clifton Avenue end of Osborne Road.

An open day will take place tomorrow and on Saturday, both from 10am-3pm.

Learn a new skill or brush up on existing techniques in woodwork, gardening, metal work, crafts and more.

You can work on your own project, do something for the community or just call in for a cuppa and a chat.

Free health advice will also be provided on occasions by outside professionals.

Membership is £10 a year and £1 for a day’s visit.
