THE UK's leading learning disability charity is challenging DIY makeover enthusiasts to put their skills to good use on Project Peru, a 12-day, hands-on, renovation and trekking project in Peru this October.

The challenge is to renovate the Rainbow Centre, a centre dedicated to improving the lives of children with learning disabilities, in the Sacred Valley, just outside Cuzco. After renovating the centre, take a two-day, 19km hike up to the historic site of Machu Pichu to complete the adventure. If you'd like to take part, then please call 0845 9777 779 to receive your Project Peru information pack or e-mail events@ mencap.org.uk or check the website on: www.mencap. org.uk/peru
