Walton Lea Partnership which supports young people and adults with learning disabilities in Warrington has received funding to support craft sessions.
It received a share of Redrow’s £6,000 community fund, linked to Daresbury Garden Village, to purchase craft items and materials that will be used during their sessions held at Walton Hall.
The charity creates learning opportunities for young people and adults that help the development of life skills, the understanding of complex information and interaction with their peers, volunteers and visitors.
Walton Lea Partnership offer their learners a range of horticultural, upcycling and recycling projects, as well as retail and leisure activities, woodwork and crafting activities. The donation from Redrow will help them to further broaden the opportunities for their learners, enabling them to continue to thrive and enhance their self-esteem. The craft items were identified by learners as items that will enhance their experience.
Redrow’s area sales manager Chris Edwards said: “The Walton Lea Partnership is a much-loved local community asset which serves the whole of Warrington and our community funds are in place to help groups such as this one. The sessions we’ve helped fund widen learning opportunities for the young people and adults who take part and will empower them to make informed life choices.”
