Our founder Alison was a guest speaker on The Restart’s Project’s radio show on Resonance FM.
Through the Goodlife Centre, Alison has helped hundreds – or thousands? – of Londoners learn DIY, about electricals, plumbing and making/repairing furniture. She tells the story of some “dollhouse DIY” as a child and how her love of materials and production took her in fascinating professional directions.
She also talks with hosts and about why people no longer have DIY skills and what motivates them to go to The Goodlife Centre to learn. And specifically, why nobody can change a plug any longer!
