Educational Director at Williby Roc’s, Danielle Pollard, said: “We love bringing people together and helping them develop their skills. We want to upskill as many people as possible to make their own gifts, cleaning products, art and crafts for a more independent and sustainable lifestyle.

“The feedback from the courses has been fantastic and we are over the moon that every workshop has been fully booked.

“We will be continuously adding new and exciting workshops, so please keep an eye on our social media for updates.”
