ToolShed is a Social Enterprise based in High Wycombe. They give young people the personal and practical skills to chisel out a career in the construction industry through an education programme which combines the teaching of carpentry, plumbing and painting and decorating alongside life skills.
ToolShed is the brainchild of David Lett and John Evans. They have spent the last 10 years developing programmes to help young people find their WHY. With their backgrounds in counselling and psychology they have enabled young people from all walks of life to make sense of the world around them and their place within it.
ToolShed supports people aged 16-24 in their self-development, training, education and employment and as part of the scheme run the handy person service, ToolShed Works. So far 80% of their learners have gone on to employment or further education. It's their aim to get to 100%.
