A project which helps young people develop career based skills and revamps community venues in Sussex has scooped a top award.

Build Yourself is a community project, run by Fresh Visions, the charity hosted and supported by housing association Optivo. The project supports low waged and unemployed 18-24 year olds. Participants learn DIY skills, such as wallpapering and tiling, and then apply these to community venues across Sussex which are in need of a bit of TLC.

Bexhill Guide Headquarters, London Road, Bexhill, is currently undergoing the Build Yourself treatment and given a modern look.
