Jills in the Community - SMCC

For a couple of sessions, the Jills have been replacing missing and damaged tiles at the South Machars Community Centre in Whithorn.

For some members, this was their first experience of tiling!

The results show a far more appealing area in both the ladies and disabled toilet facilities at the centre.






Anyone interested in Joining the Jills of all trades, please contact the BHC office on 01671 404267

Come and join the Jills!


The Jills of all Trades are a group of volunteers who continue to improve their DIY Skills when they attend the Training Workshop, based in Whithorn. The Initiative, which is run by Building Healthy Communities, has expanded over the years and the Jills have been offering their services to individuals and groups in the local community.
At present, they are helping the South Machars Community Centre with various little DIY jobs like painting a cupboard, fixing or putting up shelves, etc...They have also made and donated a couple of planters to the Centre.



Next Tuesday, 17th September 2019, they are planning to do some tiling.

If you are interested, over the next few weeks, in lending a hand or learning a new skill, why not come along and join the Jills at the South Machars Community Centre from 10am to 12pm.  You will also get a chance to meet the volunteers and ask any questions over a free cup of coffee/tea.   Anyone is welcome.

If you require any further information, please contact the centre on 01988 500364 or Building Healthy Communities on 01671 404267
