Creative sessions to build confidence, learn new skills, and move forward — your way.
Whitby Works! brings Better Connect’s Community Trailblazer programme to Whitby, offering friendly, hands-on sessions for people who want to grow skills, explore new ideas, and build confidence at a pace that feels right for them.
This is not a classroom. It’s relaxed, practical, and designed around you. Whether you want to get growing, get cooking, get creative, or try something completely new — Whitby Works! gives you space to explore, feel supported, and take the next step.
