WEST College Scotland students have built mud kitchens for school pupils thanks to some help from their friends.

Home Fix Scotland, part of the River Clyde Homes Group, stepped in to support the Level 5 Construction Skills course at our Greenock Finnart St Campus with their work-based challenge project.

The project involved the creation of mud kitchens, which were successfully delivered to three Inverclyde primary schools last week.

Schools Engagement Co-ordinator, Katrina Maxwell said: "It was a wonderful experience to see the joy on the children's faces when they received the mud kitchens. This project has given the young people a great insight into the construction industry and the importance of community support."

Throughout the academic year Home Fix Scotland provided invaluable support to the construction students, including campus visits to monitor the project's progress, a site visit to one of their joinery workshops, and the donation of materials needed to construct the mud kitchens. This hands-on involvement helped the students gain practical experience and insight into the construction industry.

The kitchens were recently delivered to  Newark Primary, St Ninians Primary in Gourock, and Gourock Primary School. 

River Clyde Homes Kirsty Conner said: “Seeing the completed product was fantastic, and it was even better that Ben helped deliver them to the local schools.

"It has been great seeing the progress of the mud kitchens to then seeing how gratefully received they were by the children and teachers”.
