It won't cost you anything. If you're unemployed, it won't affect your benefit. Participants work in a team to deliver projects which provide real benefits in the community. They develop skills which will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives. A one-week residential experience gives participants the chance to build a really effective team.
Teams choose and organise their own projects , under the guidance of a team leader.
Employed people can participate provided their employers will give their support.
