📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
You will be welcomed by the Community of communes of St Pourcain Sioule Limagne, the municipality of Brout-Vernet and by the local Social Centre. The old minibus belongs to the Social Centre, which donates it to the municipality, so that it can be installed in the middle of the village, at the disposal of everyone. It is indeed a large space sheltered from bad weather, ideal as a hut for donations. Children and young people may work with you and show you around. You will be offered them to plan animations and games from around the world.

This hut will allow the exchange of objects, clothes and books between the inhabitants. Items they no longer use will be brought and made available to others who may have use for them. Your mission will be to convert this van into a donation hut: deciding how to organize them inside, installing shelves, making painting and decorations. Along with a technical leader, you will learn basic carpentry skills and how to tinker and decorate!
