The Community Impact Initiative

Leaving our comfort zones can absolutely be scary.

And the fear of the unknown often means we focus way too much on the ‘cons’.

“What if I look or feel like an idiot? What if the day is just full of awkward silences? What if they find out I have no idea what I’m doing?”

And in all of these scenarios, everyone is OBVIOUSLY watching and judging us 🙄

But in reality, what if it leads to meeting your people? Or finding something you enjoy and getting confident in you own abilities?

(While no-one is *actually* watching and judging.)

When we try something new, yeah it’s scary, but no-one starts off knowing everything, they just give it a go.

Its a bittersweet moment for us as Women Construct Wales nears the end in Barry 👷‍♀️

Over the last few weeks, the team have been busy making those finishing touches that really pull it all together.

Our volunteers have learned how to install shower units, gotten to grips with laying the carpet tiles and gone through many, many litres of paint 🙌

It’s nearly the end, and we can’t wait for this house to become a home for some of the most vulnerable - but we’re going to be so sad to see our volunteers go!

Thank you Crown Paints UK for the incredible donation of paint used on this project. Your support means the world to us!💛
