There are so many day-to-day skills that we all take for granted, but are really vital. Plenty of people can't so much as sew a button on a pair of jeans to mend them - we feel it's very important that our members are given the opportunity to learn basic skills to improve their lives. Recently, our adult life skills class spent a significant amount of time understanding the concept of sewing as well as working on their dexterity and hand-eye coordination. It's very very clear from smiles in these photos that our class participants are so proud of what they have learned to do!
