Creative Placements
Aimed at giving young adults with learning disabilities and autistic people valuable experience in working at events/festivals, as well as taking on creative projects in our workshop to enhance their creativity skills. Examples of projects include designing and making props and signage for events out of upcycled/reclaimed wooden pallets and other materials.

Every session includes fun, engaging activities with a small group of people.
