What is the mission or goal of your organisation/group? Our aim is to keep the members of our community with disabilities working and engaged in their community. As a not-for-profit Trust, one of the ways we do this is by providing employment and work-experience opportunities for people who live with special needs and disabilities.
What do your volunteers do? We have a great team of volunteers who do nursery work,weeding, bagging plants, pruning, watering, back filling stock, and supporting our workers.
How does your organisation’s/group’s work help/support/develop the community? We are one of very few businesses that support people with disabilities in work.
Are you currently recruiting volunteers or will you be doing so when the government restrictions are reduced? We will be seeking new volunteers when we are out of COVID levels. We will be looking for a range of skills including customer service and maintenance.
