Question 1

Is food provided?

Accepted Answer

Hot drinks and light refreshments will be provided, but we ask that you bring your own lunch. There is a Tesco Express a 10 minute walk away.

Question 2

Is the site accessible?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately not. Springfield Allotment is a live construction site, with uneven ground that means it is not currently wheelchair accessible.

Question 3

What will I be doing?

Accepted Answer

There will be a range of jobs to get involved with at the workshop, and you can decide what's right for you. You will be on your feet and out in the elements for a lot of the day, but there will be plenty of time for breaks and rest when needed, and we encourage you to take things at your own pace.

Question 4

Do I need any construction knowledge to join in?

Accepted Answer

These workshops welcome people of all building abilities – beginners, as well as experienced practitioners. You do not need any pre-requisite knowledge to join us – just a willingness to learn and get hands-on with materials.

Question 5

I have more questions. Who should I speak to?

Accepted Answer

You can get in touch with the WeCanMake team at hello@wecanmake.org

Question 6

I can only attend one of the days. Can I still come?

Accepted Answer

Priority will be given to those who are able to attend both days. Please get in touch if you are only able to come for one.
