Testimonials

Our team refer service users to Handcrafted to access both the cafe and the workshop facilities. We believe the project to be always welcoming, friendly and non-judgemental. The staff are always happy to show potential users around and are justifiably proud of the space that they have developed. Most importantly the staff are highly skilled in engaging the clients in the benefits of making from wood and plastics to sewing and art. Attendees are from a variety of backgrounds and needs but all are involved and engaged. Space is also given for those that just want to relax and chat. This is a unique project and one we are happy to continue to work in partnership with.
