MAKING LEARNING FUN, AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL!
Sharing Skills is a Community Interest Company set up to bring people together to share practical skills with those who would love to learn.
Over the last 20 years, Directors – Simon and Gemma Mcfarlane have renovated their home and upcycled everything in it, picking up useful practical skills along the way and learning how to be resourceful. With an interest in this and an acute awareness of how we need to change our actions to protect our planet, they found people wanting to learn skills and others wanting to share them so Sharing Skills CIC was formed to bring people together to learn from each other.
We also provide projects to promote a circular economy in our local community.
