In time he hopes the charity will be used by people including asylum seekers, homeless people and those with dementia.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He explained that the project is to create \u201cacceptance, patience and teamwork\u201d and that a strict \u201cno drink no drug\u201d policy will be in place.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group first took over the shed, located next to ACE\u2019s Dusty Forge, in February 2015, after spending 18 months looking for a suitable location. However, the project has suffered from multiple delays as asbestos was discovered in the floor. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The renovation was completed thanks to crowdsourcing from local and national businesses. Construction company Willmott Dixon played a vital part in the building by providing material and help as part of its work for local communities. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contributions were also given by companies including John Lewis, Travis Perkins and Homebase.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, the community of Ely and Caerau has also contributed to the club, with one individual donating tools that belonged to their late father. Volunteers included Ely Fire Services, who gave up their time to help paint the shed.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13830\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13830\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Ely firefighters lending a hand at the Dusty Shed\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13830\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Ely firefighters lending a hand at the Dusty Shed\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/10\/croppedDustyShed2_25-10-16-AL.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript> Ely firefighters lending a hand at the Dusty Shed<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The charity hopes to become financially sustainable by selling the products it makes.
