Grass Roots Training and Therapeutic Scheme

The Grass Roots Training and Therapeutic scheme is for adults with learning disabilities/difficulties.

The Grass Roots Training and Therapeutic scheme offers adults with learning difficulties/ disabilities occupational, educational and work focused training. We offer woodwork, painting and decorating, minor ground maintenance and arts and crafts activities. Our services allow them to widen their participation, to be socially included in their local environment thus gaining experience in 'work ethics', in regards to their lifelong learning.

The trainees have had a fantastic few weeks, we have been busy making planters and shelving, hen houses, carousels that have been ordered. The trainees in the art room have been continuing their fabulous artwork. Today the trainees painted a picture, all randomly selecting a colour, a different part of the face, and a different way of painting, i.e brush, piece of wood, sponge... and completed the most bonkers face! We thoroughly enjoyed it!
