Social Value - YouthBuild Women in DIY
Members of the Amber Construction Services team were delighted to support YouthBuild Ventures UK and Phoenix Community Housing at their DIY at Home: Women in DIY workshop in Lewisham, as part of our social value commitments with L&Q.
Our Site Manager, Tony Coombs, and Community Investment Executive, Iona Cummings, supported the hands-on workshop, helping local women develop practical DIY skills and build confidence in tackling everyday tasks around the home. Participants learned how to identify whether a wall is plasterboard or brick and safely use a drill to install shelf brackets, with everyone having the opportunity to get involved and put their new skills into practice in a supportive environment.
The workshop also helped showcase the skills involved in construction and maintenance, encouraging women to explore new opportunities within the industry.
At Amber Construction, we are committed to creating meaningful social value in the communities where we work, supporting skills development, promoting inclusion and helping people build confidence and independence.
A big thank you to YouthBuild Ventures UK and Phoenix Community Housing for delivering such a valuable initiative and to the women who took part.
