A Year in The Accessible Workshop

What a year we have had in our The Accessible Workshop. From Three Peak challenges, a new workshop opening in High Wycombe and making some planters for radio DJ Chris Evans, our members have had a very exciting year.

 We thought you might like to see for yourself what they have been up to.
As a charity we rely on donations to ensure we can provide these wonderful facilities for our members. We know times are hard at the moment but if you would like to donate to help us to be able to continue providing this wonderful workshop, you can do so here.
