The Walton Lea Partnership, a charity that supports individuals with learning disabilities, recently received funding for craft projects. The organization, known for providing learning opportunities for people with learning difficulties, was awarded a portion of a £6,000 community fund from Redrow, linked to Daresbury Garden Village.
This funding will be used to purchase craft items and materials for sessions held at Walton Hall. The aim of the charity is to help individuals develop life skills, understanding of complex information, and interaction with peers, volunteers, and visitors.
Sharon Harris, the operations director at Walton Lea Partnership, mentioned that they offer a variety of projects including horticultural, upcycling, and recycling initiatives, as well as retail and leisure activities, woodwork, and crafting sessions. The donation from Redrow will further expand opportunities for the learners, allowing them to thrive and boost their self-esteem.
The craft items chosen were identified by the learners themselves as items that would enhance their experience at Walton Lea Partnership. The organization expressed gratitude towards Redrow for funding these supplies.
Chris Edwards, Redrow’s area sales manager, highlighted the importance of supporting local community assets like the Walton Lea Partnership. He mentioned that the sessions funded by Redrow aim to broaden learning opportunities for young people and adults, empowering them to make informed life choices.
This collaboration between Redrow and the Walton Lea Partnership showcases the positive impact that community funds can have on organizations dedicated to supporting individuals with learning disabilities. The partnership helps create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all participants involved.
