Benefits
Participate in the Community Workshops
Come to the weekly Community Volunteer Sessions, help with projects, make something, learn to sew! These are on Tuesdays and Thursdays 9am-12. in the Wood Workshop and Wednesdays and Thursdays in the Sewing Room. This is a great way to learn new skills and make a difference at the same time
Use The Workshop For Your Projects
Members can use the Workshops for their own projects. NB: To use the Woodwork Shop it is required a Supervisor is present and there is a minimum of two people.
Van Fit outs are a popular use of the WCW workshop space. Our carparking space is limited so we need to restrict the number of vans on site at any time to four plus the supervisor’s vehicle. Membership for this purpose is $50 per month / $20 per week. All Health and Safety and tool training requirements also apply to short term memberships.
Access To The Raw Material Library
We are being donated a wide range of materials from building supplies, wood, ply and fastenings through to fabric and bike components. As a member you will be able to access this resource and take what you need on a Koha basis (pay what you think is fair).
Access To The Tool Library / Shop
As with raw materials we are also gathering tools from the community with a view to getting them back out there and into the hands of people who need them. We are building a set of tools that members can borrow for their projects and will also have some tools available to purchase. NB: You can not borrow the Workshop Tools.
Support A Growing Community Asset
We would like the WCW to become a truly valuable community asset, your membership really helps us in showing we have support when it comes to our funding applications and building up the facility.
Community!
Meet new people, make friends, enjoy the camaraderie of fixing and making stuff together!
