Three13 - How do you do that?

Course title

How do you do that?

This short course is an ideal opportunity to learn how to do basic DIY and small practical tasks around your own home and meet with others to share experiences and develop confidence.

This will be achieved through activities and tasks and topics include:

  • Tools- what should be in your basic toolkit, how do you use and maintain these correctly
  • Electrics- fuses, plugs, bulbs (different types and changing), resetting the circuit breaker
  • Decorating- paint and uses, preparation, roller or brushes, cleaning up, storing paint
  • Fixings and hanging- solid or hollow walls, how to hang a curtain pole, TV bracket, picture

You may have your own practical skills you want to learn - let Three13 know!

You will have the opportunity to 'do' rather than sit and listen, and this 'hands on' course enables you to do this in a safe and supportive environment. Group work and discussion will help to develop your understanding, increase your knowledge and then apply this learning through practical activities.

The course will support you to feel more confident, independent and resourceful. All activities will assist in boosting your personal development, improve your well-being and increase your motivation to plan your next steps.
