In today's episode we discuss Skills Club, a club within our ARTiculate programme for young people aged 24-30.
Join Tara, Sophia, Dave, Jordan, Stephanos and Flo as they share how Skills Club has helped them develop confidence, creativity, friendships and practical skills through art, volunteering and community projects.
From autism and social anxiety to employment, independence and finding a place to belong, this honest and uplifting conversation explores the real impact that a supportive and inclusive community can have on young disabled adults.
We also hear about the creative projects members have produced, including embroidery, ceramics, textiles and upcycling, and discover how Skills Club helps participants build skills for volunteering, work and everyday life.
To find out more about Skills Club please contact Flo Alfrey on 020 3743 2326, or email flo@communityfocus.co.uk
