Skillway Workshops

27/05/2026

Well before the heat really kicked in, we had a lovely catch up with our staff and workshop volunteers! We've got a few new faces over the last year so it was a great opportunity for everyone to meet. We truly appreciate everyone who supports Skillway and it was lovely to share stories and common interests.

We might not have quite the same amount of large sculptures as Chelsea, but Busbridge Gardens will be well worth the visit - there will be beautiful planting, oasis of calm, refreshments, plant sales and all for the bargain price of £5 for anyone 14 or over (under 14's are free) - and you don’t have to travel on the train / tube to visit

Put the date in your diary - 27th & 28th June - 2 - 5pm

You can buy tickets here https://busbridge-open-gardens.sumupstore.com/product/busbridge-open-gardens-ticket-children-under-14-free

All proceeds are going to Phyllis Tuckwell, Hospice Care and Skillway Workshops

Rounding off a sunny week with a glass session! Everyone had a fun day and some lovely colourful glass pieces left the workshops. Fingers crossed for sun over the bank holiday?!?!

We have a lot of bee fans at Skillway, and it's lovely to pass this knowledge on! Our students had a great time making bee homes for solitary bees, and these new habitats will be very much appreciated out in the wild.

Thank you for the support Cranleigh Repair Cafe it was lovely to show you what we do!

We are delighted to have been able to give a donation to Skillway Workshops in Godalming.

Skillway is a brilliant charity which was founded in 1997. Their vision is to help young people who are being bypassed by the academic focus of mainstream education. They motivate and build confidence in teenagers by teaching them practical craft skills allied to trades and nurture their personal potential.

At the Repair Cafe we feel very strongly about the need for practical skills such as woodwork and metalwork to be passed on to the next generation and so we are happy to support such a worthwhile charity.
