2022 is set to be our busiest yet, as we expand as an organisation, growing and developing new and existing partnerships and programmes. Here you’ll find a rundown of our live and upcoming VIY projects by region, which we’ll be keeping as up to date as possible (all subject to shift at any time – oh construction life!)
