153 The small but important charity grows!
The project has changed since the last podcast, in a number of ways.
Firstly we operate as separate projects within the overall umbrella of The Remakery, there is a day for young people, a day for young learning disabled adults and a day for unemployed and those suffering from poor wellbeing.
This allows us to tailor the work undertaken to the needs of the group.
