Skillway
Mission Statement
Skillway trains young people in manual craft skills to give them a better future with ongoing employment opportunities.
INSPIRE - CREATE - FULFIL - SUCCEED
Skillway is based in the Old Chapels in Deanery Road, Godalming. The young people are usually aged 14 to 16 or 17. They come for one day per week, on recommendation of their school.
We have an excellent employed Workshop Manager and two employed tutors, but most skills are taught by volunteers who have specific craft skills, aided by other volunteers who can give skilled and/or pastoral support.
The main skills offered are Woodworking, Metalwork & basic engineering, Practical motor mechanics, stone carving, creative arts including jewellery making and working with glass.
Skillway Volunteering Opportunities
Surrey Remap
Mission Statement
Surrey Remap is the local group representing the national charity Remap (www.remap.org.uk).
The objective of this charity is to design and make custom equipment for the disabled when such equipment is not available commercially.
A visit to the website will demonstrate that this often involves quite simple devices, modifications to existing equipment, and even some quite complex projects. Remap comprises a very small Head Office and a countrywide network of volunteer 'engineers' and handymen, who work from their own home workshops.
General Interests
The Spike Heritage Centre (Guildford)
Mission Statement
The Spike Heritage Centre is one of the few buildings remaining from Guildford's Workhouse in the Poor Law era, which housed the forgotten classes of Victorian England. The Vagrants and Casual Ward, known as The Spike was built in 1906 to house vagrants and low paid workers. After the Poor Laws ended in 1929, it continued as a night hostel until the mid 1960s. The NHS took over the site becoming St Lukes Hospital, operational until the mid 1990s when the new Royal Surrey hospital was opened. The majority of the workhouse site was redeveloped, but due to the efforts of local campaigners, the Casual Ward was saved and remains as a historic building with lots of stories to tell. Individual visitors and groups are welcome to explore this unique building with guides providing the insight about how the poor were treated in a bygone age.
General Interests
