The Brothers of Charity Services have various Social Enterprises for adults with learning disabilities; services are designed to support people to develop skills with confidence in a supportive working environment whilst offering services in the local community.
The social enterprises carryout lots of great, fun activities for the people we support and the local communities to get involved with. Here you will be able to find out what each of the enterprises have been up to.
The Walled Garden
Over the summer the team at The Walled Garden have been growing grapes in their very own vine house, which are now ripe and ready to sell at just £1 a bunch. Pop in and get yours now; we are open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm and Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 4:30pm.
Have you seen any hedgehogs recently? Our team at The Walled Garden are helping a lady in the local area to carry out a survey to find out the hedgehog population in Leyland; the boxes will be set in place around the social enterprise. We will keep you updated on how many of our spiky friends appear!

Andrew and Damian, two of our amazing team members at Roccoco, have been learning some new techniques this week; how to prepare and cook fruit!
