A Mutual Aid D-I-Y Community
Learn skills, make new friends, get the help you need
Workshop Closed
It's been a very eventful 18 months and we had a ball bringing a new community-building concept to life.
Thank you so much to the hundreds of women who expressed an interest in connecting through doing-it-ourselves,
and especially to those who leaned in with their full support, got involved and invested in their own upskilling!
What was GiveGet Build?
Do It Yourself...with the help of a local community of handy women
For women...By women (and the men who support them)
