Fair Deal
VO101875

Fair Deal is a charity which was established 35 years ago to support people with a learning disability in the community, at home and to participate in meaningful activities.

Our Help Yourself Grow Programme has been running for 9 years and is based in the heart of the community in our purpose built training garden. We deliver a variety of horticultural and therapeutic activities including seed sewing, potting on, planting out and harvesting, as well as making wildlife habitats, composting, weeding and seasonal arts and crafts activities. These interventions are crucial in helping people to develop develop life skills such as confidence, communication skills, team working as well as, of course, gardening skills.

The role involves working alongside the workshop trainer to help support the engagement of the young adults who attend our programme. The programme is fun and interactive and is an opportunity for you to learn new skills and people, whilst helping up deliver the very best experience to our participants. Our small friendly groups run 3 days each week from 10:00 to 15:15, so opportunities can be flexible to suit existing commitments.
