We have created a learning, practical, positive and community based environment, which will help to prevent young people from carrying out anti-social behaviour, disengaging from education and society, joining gangs and committing violent acts. We support the young people to think more positively about their future opportunities and involvement in community activity.
Community Projects
Rainbow Workshop engages with local organisations, groups and charities to plan and produce carpentry projects for the Harlow community.
Qualifications
Rainbow Services’ Workshop is now offering young people aged 14-17 the opportunity to work towards the Gateway qualification Level 1 Award – Skills for Construction. This is a 12 week funded course covering health & safety in construction and carpentry hand tools.
What we offer
Supported by volunteer mentors, young people create, build and learn using wood as a medium in our supportive and fun workshop. Young people can now gain the Gateway qualification Level 1 Award—Skills for Construction.
Through a portfolio of written and practical work participants will:
- Build new woodwork skills
- Develop a sense of team work and self-worth
- Feel that they are giving back to community
- Build skills based on interests and manual and physical activity
Following this, young people are signposted to activities in the wider community which helps to prevent anti-social behaviour, disengaging from education and society, and becoming involved with gangs and violence. We support the young people to think more positively about their future opportunities and involvement in community activity.
