People who'd been in touch with the justice system learned new skills when they helped with refurbishments of a social enterprise cafe

When social enterprise café and venue WG13 in Kilmarnock underwent a refurbishment – it provided an opportunity for people who had been in touch with the justice system to learn new skills.

WG13 was developed by the Council of Voluntary Organisations East Ayrshire as an avenue into employment for those with multiple barriers to work.

Another CVO project GRAFT (Gaining Respect And Fostering Trust) is a multi-faceted project that aims to alleviate the effects of poverty within local communities.

It takes steps towards addressing the root causes of poverty and also provides people at the fringes of society who are most excluded with the chance to get involved in helping others to help themselves.

Teams from GRAFT were involved in the refurbishment and also helped train others on the job.
