Wood Recyclability
Pending display name
This project will help to reduce waste, specifically wood, plastics and tyres. We need a new building to carry out the work of recycling in a dry, warm environment.
About this cause
Our organisation helps adults with learning difficulties from the local area. We help them with training in wood recycling, manufacturing of products, social interaction, and customer facing skills. At present, we have 32 adults we train aged 18-63. The purpose is to give our service users the confidence, skills, and pride in having a worthwhile job and show them how to be socially interactive.
How this cause brings people in the community together
All our service users were in isolation during lockdown, and with the return to work imminent, it will be a great relief to them to reengage with other staff and their peers and give their lives structure and meaning again, which will have a positive impact on their mental health.
