Care in the Garden is a Community Interest Company (CIC) - a not for profit organisation set up to make a difference, by creating work opportunities for adults with additional needs on the Isle of Wight.
Adults with additional needs and mental health issues are severely disadvantaged in the workplace. Our CIC aims to provide them with the skills and confidence to enable them to undertake work experience or paid employment, supported by a work buddy who is a member of our staff.
The donation will enable us to cover transport costs to take clients to their work place. It will also enable us to offer this type of opportunity to clients who do not normally get one to one support, as we will be able to cover some of the additional staff costs that will be needed. This will ultimately enable more of our clients to have these opportunities.
