New premises for the Clifford Project
Mike West, a director of the Clifford Project, had invited Jill Hood and me to pop round yesterday morning to inspect the new premises which the project has just opened at Unit 2B on Whitebridge Estate. Initially we wondered wheter it was ‘2B or not 2B’ when we arrived because the units have no obvious numbers affixed for indentification but - after twice asking for directions - we eventually found it!
They’ve only had the unit a month but in that time they’ve worked hard and fitted it out and decorated it throughout. This unit will be used for their ‘Way to Work’ scheme in which youngsters with learning difficulties on leaving school will be be offered help and training to assist them in gaining skills for the employment market. Take a look at their website to see the fantastic work they do.
The new premises are superb. Training rooms, a kitchen, computer room and workshops - all in a bright, clean and secure environment. Jill and I had a hurried tour because of another engagement - but we came away mightily impressed by both the premises and the commitment of Mike, his staff and the volunteers. Congratulations to them all!
