The showcase day – to held between 10am and 3pm – will be an opportunity for the charity to explain what other services it provides including gardening and ‘Chopshed’ a bespoke wood products and upcycling unit.
The day will also be a chance for the charity to celebrate being named one of this year’s Small Business 100 companies highlighted for their good work as part of the Small Business Saturday in December – an annual campaign which celebrates the best small businesses around the UK.
