The craft workshop, based on Norwood High Street, make mosaics, candles, lavender bags, embroidered cards, and much more.
The two workshops run every weekday from 9:30 to 4:30 and we would ask you to commit to attending regularly (at least every other week for a half day or full day).
You might get involved with the gardening or the crafting, or with music or drama workshops.
You would be working alongside people with learning disabilities, joining in with community life and building friendships.
This is a brilliant opportunity to tap into your creative side and make and grow beautiful things with kind people. If you have any particular creative or musical skills, please do share them with us!
This is a chance to create beautiful and delicious things and join a friendly, open community.

- You'll learn new creative skills like how to make mosaics or how to grow vegetables.
- Being friends with people with learning disabilities changes the way you see the world.
- You will learn to be more attentive to the world around you and be more open to difference.

We are looking for people who are willing to commit to a half day or whole day a week.
