ECO Work-Shop CIC is a not-for-profit organisation, based in Stratford-upon-Avon, that was set up in 2013.

Work-Shop came about when three mothers of adult children with learning disabilities, met for a coffee to discuss their frustrations and fears about the future which awaited their children. The parents were appalled to discover the lack of purpose awaiting their children and other disabled adults.

Work-Shop set out to improve the wellbeing and lives of learning disabled and/or autistic adults. We support and encourage those who attend to achieve so much more than they ever believed was possible! Learning diverse new skills through stimulating and varied work activities, participants become part of the adult workforce. Building on the skills gained from education, Work-Shop carefully extends each participant’s abilities by tailoring the activity to each person’s level, gently and steadily supporting the increase in skills required to complete each task.

By joining the conversation of work, our participants become included in the adult world, and the combination of personal success, regular social interaction and motivation creates fulfilment.
