With inflation rising to 11% in the UK, Dunelm, the UK’s leading homewares retailer, is hosting a free workshop at its Greenford store, West London, to support local customers in putting their handy skills to good use and boost their income through local services marketplace, Airtasker. The event will take place on Tuesday 6th December, at 5.45pm in the store’s Pausa café – with complimentary tea, coffee and cake on offer as well.

Are you a dab hand at assembling furniture, putting up shelves or cleaning? Or perhaps painting and decorating or local pick-up/delivery are more your thing? Whatever your skill, the workshop will show how you could turn your talents into cash by working flexibly and how you could earn over £4,000 a month*.

As well as how to generate extra income from your skills and know how, the workshop will help attendees build a profile to generate great reviews to drive more business, with two already successful Taskers sharing their stories and doing a live Q&A.

This will include Fais Chaudry, 37 from London who has been a Tasker since 2018, “I started using Airtasker to earn extra cash to pay off my debts in my spare time. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve turned what started as a side hustle as a full-time job! I’m looking forward to inspiring others to use their skills and earn extra money to help through these difficult times.”

Jon Cox, Manager of the Dunelm Greenford store said: “I know that some of our customers are keen to generate some extra income in these challenging times, especially in the run-up to Christmas, so this free workshop is a great opportunity to get them started, using skills they already have to help others and make some money in the process.”
