VIY has enabled 700+ projects across the UK since its launch in 2011. We renovate community buildings and facilities that young people use and benefit from, including youth clubs, community centres, schools and colleges, sports clubs, music and arts venues, and supported housing.
All projects involve our young volunteers and our VIY Trade Mentors undertaking refurbishment and improvement works that the venues would otherwise struggle to make happen.
Below are case studies on a selection of typical VIY projects.
VIY has already demonstrated a massive impact to our community for the better and increasing our footfall. It has modernised our 16 year old skatepark, renewing interest with our returning skaters and also creating new users to the sports. We are already seeing significantly more use and income for our park, through a raised profile in our local community through local paper coverage and word of mouth.. New programmes and memberships are being currently designed as a direct result. Many, many thanks to the VIY teams, who have given us a brighter future.
