Enterprise Projects
Our Enterprise Projects are opportunities that provide a realistic working environment and
support adults to grow, create, build and sell products and produce that are then sold on-site
and at local retailers and events. We encourage all adults who attend the projects to
participate at a pace and level that suits them and to take ownership for the success of the
project, whether their contribution has been working as an individual or collaborating with
others in a group.
The Drawing Room - Arts & Ceramics Project
Work as part of the team to develop creative and unique artwork, including canvasses, artwork
for printed products, card designs, ceramics and china. Learn new art skills using different
mediums and techniques. Help prepare for selling the artwork at internal & external shows and
retailers. Jobs include pricing, counting stock, and safely packaging stock. There are also
opportunities for work to be entered and displayed at local competitions and exhibitions. This
group is a sociable and relaxing group that helps individuals to enhance their creativity and
express themselves in a non-verbal way.
The Jewellery Project
Learn skills and techniques to work with different materials such as wire, beads, clay and textiles
to produce individual pieces of jewellery and upcycled craft for sale at retail outlets both on and
off site. This group is a sociable and relaxing group that helps individuals develop their manual
dexterity, bilateral co-ordination, planning and counting skills, and improve focus.
