PEACE (Personal Education and Creative Experiences)
Grant: Millfield Students' Charity Committee, £960
Project: Creating and designing crafts

Background: This self-help group meets weekly in Pilton. Members have become disabled during their working lives with MS, Parkinson's, stroke sufferers and people recovering from head injuries. Because of their disabilities they are no longer able to drive and most for most of them this will be the only opportunity they have to pursue their hobbies in a safe, supported environment.

The grant from Millfield Student's has made this possible, and for the next 6 months the group, supported by volunteers, can enjoy different workshops including bead work, tapestry, card making, scrapbooking, quilting, model making and painting.
