Rachael came to Livingstone to volunteer and noticed the lack of opportunities for adults that were unable to complete their formal education - as a result, Pure Skills was started!

They have continued to develop by opening a welding workshop in 2015; creating recycled glass products in 2016; launching goats milk soap in 2017 and more is still to come!
