The Greenfield Park team will be selling a number of their handcrafted wares at the Royal Manx Agricultural Show next month.
Held on Friday August 9 and Saturday August 10, the Royal Manx is one of the highlights in the rural calendar.
Greenfield Park (based on the Noble’s Site) is day care centre where adult service users with learning disabilities develop life skills in a safe environment.
At the day centre, service user’s reuse donated materials from within the community, such as pallets, Manx Loughton fleece, cans, old Zimmer frames and wood to create an array of high quality, handcrafted gifts such as decorative plaques, storage boxes and rugs – all of which will be available to purchase at the show.
The team will only be able to accept cash payments on the day and all monies raised will go back into the Greenfield Park Day Centre for future activities.
Sara Harper, Day Services Manager, said: “It is wonderful opportunity for us to showcase the incredible things that our service users create during their time with us at Greenfield Park. All of the items are made from nearly 100% recycled materials and service users are given enrichment and chances to flourish during production – each thing really is made with love. Please do come along and see us at the show.”
