The Upcycle to Upskill course could also improve participants’ job prospects, say organisers <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A COURSE which aims to teach people how to \u2018upcycle\u2019 old furniture during the cost-of-living crisis has launched in Butetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisers of the Upcycle to Upskill course at Nulife Furniture noticed a need in the community, so they set up the course which offers training, including formal qualifications and practical, informal job support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The not-for-profit organisation commits to repurposing furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is running all sessions for free, including a manual handling course, a light repair workshop and the nationally recognised PAT (portable appliance testing) qualification, which normally costs \u00a3150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is open to anyone at its base in Clarence Road. For this course, NuLife will provide lunch. People keen to take part just need to fill in a form to express their interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are trying to be as inclusive as we can to eliminate common barriers that people face when accessing training courses,\u201d says project manager Alessa Hill, who is from Cwmbran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course has attracted people of various ages and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n
