Lots of flat pack building at our workshop today, I even managed to get my teen putting together all the chairs for us.
There’s been a little confusion so just to be clear, we’re not closing or moving our shop, nothing changes there. The workshop is an additional space to improve the support we can offer our community and have a permanent home for courses such as our Path to Pay course.
We can’t wait to finish getting it ready and start welcoming people to this new space!
