HOLLY wreaths, wooden reindeer planters and festive tree decorations are just some of the items being produced by students enrolled on courses at Worklink.
Worklink is run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and provides accredited employment training in horticulture, woodwork, catering and hospitality for adults with learning disabilities.
There are outreach centres at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, and the Sobriety Project in Goole. You can buy products from the learning resource centre in Cottingham.
Products for sale include small reindeer planters, tree decorations, wreaths and Christmas table decorations
Woodwork students have also been busy creating a wooden replica steam train, pictured, in time for the festive period.
Councillor Richard Harrap, portfolio holder for adult and carer services, said: “Our Worklink students work incredibly hard to make a wide range of fantastic Christmas products at this time of year, so this is the perfect time to snap up something decorative for your home while supporting a truly innovative scheme.”
