02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Workshop Aberfeldy was set up to provide training and support for disadvantaged and young people seeking to gain employable skills. We target this group within our community, with a specific focus on those facing additional barriers to employment. We welcome volunteers to help with this, that may also come for their own reasons, such as to reduce the risk of social isolation, or to share their knowledge with our trainees. We provide structured or informal training in office admin, design, manufacturing and woodworking. We manufacture bespoke wooden products as a vehicle for this. We help people build skills, confidence, social skills and experience in a real-life business. We support community ventures, making our equipment available and supporting. We do this by having strong partnerships with other local groups and organisations for referrals, and by having a team of core staff that deliver inclusive, flexible, training in a welcoming environment.
