Our Christmas market stall was a huge success and raised over £200 with a profit of £145.75! 🤩👏Residents made Christmas crafts and produced beautiful drawings and photographs to sell. Being part of a social enterprise was an incredible experience for our residents, they took pride in the fact people wanted to buy their work and gained transferable skills such as customer service, sales, and working out the prices and cost of stock. A huge thank you from our activities team Ros, Algie and Colin! We hope this will be the start of an ongoing social enterprise! #rebuildinglives #socialenterprise ... See MoreSee Less
