In the past, we have successfully partnered with a local training provider to support and train local students with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders on site. We plan to restart the programme in the near future, with the training days running on the days when we are not hosting volunteers at the workshop. Should there be any students on site, corporate volunteers should not exchange any contact details with the students or take any photos of/with them.
