A Clean Slate
Saturday 27th May 2023
Written by Laura
Today 2 GoodGymers went down to Slate to support them in their garden clean up. We cleared, clipped, planted & weeded. The sun was blazing & we made a huge difference; it's amazing what a bit of elbow grease can do!
SLATE was set up to offer work opportunites to adults with learning disabilities. And also, to reduce the amount of unwanted items going to landfill, through the creation of The Feel Good Furniture Shops. They believe that people with learning and other disabilities should have the same right to employment, training and volunteering as everyone else.
