About the Academy
Building community and career skills
The Goldfinger Academy exists to enhance our community’s career opportunities and well being through teaching woodworking and craft.
Extraordinary lots, extraordinary impact
Online auction, 3—18 Nov
We’ve curated a collection of one-of-a-kind items and experiences to raise funds for the Goldfinger Academy. The proceeds will create more spaces in our craft workshops for local residents on low income and support our career guidance and traineeship programmes for local young people not in education, employment or training.
The Future Makers programme
Launched in 2022, our Future Makers programme gives students insight into the craft industry while they acquire employable skills and develop their creative portfolios.
“My favourite part of the placement was being hands on in the workshop, side by side with professionals, as it’s a great way to learn!”
Theo, 16, Future Makers participant
“Opportunities like this, particularly in the wake of Covid-19, can be life-defining for young people like Theo, who after completing his work experience placement is now actively looking for an apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery.”
