A LICHFIELD charity supporting young adults with additional needs has been boosted by a £1,500 donation.
Liberty Jamboree has received the cash from business lender UKSE.
The money will be used to purchase materials for a social enterprise initiative where members design and produce handmade ceramic and textile items.
Co-ordinator Jack Wort said:
“The donation from UKSE is brilliant as it will help with the purchase of resources, equipment and promotion of the enterprise.
“The young adults taking part are learning valuable life skills such as resilience, interpersonal skills, motivation and confidence as well as building their employability skills ready for the world of work.
“A huge thank you to UKSE for supporting our social enterprise, without donations like this we would be unable to sustain the project for the benefit of our young adults.”
Currently, 65 young people are actively engaged in the social enterprise initiative at Liberty Jamboree.
UKSE area manager Steve Grice said:
“Liberty Jamboree is a great charity providing valuable employability opportunities for young adults in Lichfield and the surrounding areas.
“UKSE is committed to making a positive impact in the communities it operates in, and the donation will hopefully allow the charity to continue its incredible work for the benefit of its members.”
