Overview

Street Forge Workshops project was initiated in Thornham Magna in 1986 by a group of people who were themselves disabled and who were determined to overcome the lack of training and employment opportunities in Suffolk. It is therefore ideally structured to understand the needs fears aspirations and ambitions of people with disability.rnrnThe Workshops provide individually designed programmes for adults with learning physical and/or sensory disability in an atmosphere which is supportive work like and friendly. These programmes are based around vocational opportunities with the aim of assisting users to explore opportunities in the wider community including employment when possible.rnrnWe offer a range of training including Woodwork (turning carving bench joinery) IT (word processing internet) Numeracy and Literacy and Horticulture together with Independent Living and Craft.
