In the charity's own words
Hjalpande Hander gives young adults with special needs the chance to get paid work operating a catering trailer at local events such as fetes, festivals, market days, sports days etc. They can also work at the Kiosk we operate in Stanton Park. We involve the young adults in all aspects of the business and at the same time hope they will have fun and enjoy the atmosphere of the various events.
