Enterprise Projects
Our Enterprise Projects are opportunities that provide a realistic working environment and support
adults to grow, create, build and sell products and produce that are then sold on-site and at local
retailers and events. We encourage all adults who attend the projects to participate at a pace and level
that suits them and to take ownership for the success of the project, whether their contribution has been
working as an individual or collaborating with others in a group.

techniques. Help prepare for selling the artwork at internal & external shows and retailers. Jobs include
pricing, counting stock, and safely packaging stock. There are also opportunities for work to be entered

helps individuals to enhance their creativity and express themselves in a non-verbal way.
