Autism gets creative with willow

Goldcrest House service users take part in a therapeutic willow workshop to get creative with a natural material whilst supporting a local charity.

Run by charity the Sobriety Project, at the Yorkshire Waterways Museum in Goole, service users were provided with the opportunity to create something unique and environmentally friendly whilst learning a new skill.

Ralph Parish, registered manager at Goldcrest House says: “Our service uses took part in this rewarding workshop and created something completely personal to them that they could take away and feel really proud of – a great confidence boost for all involved.”

Based on Boothferry Road Goldcrest House is a centre of excellence dedicated to addressing the individual needs of adults over 18 affected by Autistic Spectrum Disorder and learning difficulties. It provides residential care, supported living, long and short term respite care, day services and outreach to meet the varied needs of those who access the service 52 weeks a year; its aim is to be the UK’s quality service of choice.
