CASE STUDY
WHAT OPEN ROAD DO
Open provide alternative training facilities for disadvantaged, vulnerable and excluded young people, using motor vehicles and construction as a means of capturing their interest. It’s a learning environment where young people want to be rather than have to be, where they learn practical vocational skills in a dedicated workshop and training facility.
How we helped
The Kerrison Trust provided a grant for the purchase of new equipment for construction or mechanic training.

“The most recent grant we were awarded has been used to engage a Construction Workshop Assistant, who originally came to us through the Community Payback Team. Having completed his time with them he now works for us for one day a week to impart his construction skills and knowledge to our young people. He has a very strong work ethic and is very good with the students.”
