Our vision
"Our vision is to develop a social enterprise that provides work therapy. Many people, for a variety of reasons, need support to develop their abilities in an organised productive environment."
The aspiration that we share is to provide that environment in a suitable location, where a garden can be cultivated in stages. By removing that added pressure of having to work in a professional setting, those joining the venture will be able to achieve success with greater ease.
We are looking for a permanent 10 acre site where ongoing gardening work placements can take place, providing support and encouragement for specific people. Alongside this we would like to set up a visitors centre and coffee shop which would support the work of Artesian. In addition, we would also like to have a permanent area to set aside for counselling and additional support.
The aim is to develop working skills to increase confidence both professionally and domestically. Practical skills would include IT, building, horticulture, cookery and nutrition. These practical tasks can be enhanced when coupled with creative activities such as art, music and dance.
