Today 2 GoodGymers went down to Slate to support them in their garden clean up. We cleared, clipped, planted & weeded. The sun was blazing & we made a huge difference; it's amazing what a bit of elbow grease can do!
SLATE was set up to offer work opportunites to adults with learning disabilities. And also, to reduce the amount of unwanted items going to landfill, through the creation of The Feel Good Furniture Shops. They believe that people with learning and other disabilities should have the same right to employment, training and volunteering as everyone else.

An reuse recycle charity employing people with LD as equal colleagues
Growing from Leeds special school as a furniture repair and resale project SLATE now has shops in Hunslet and Armley Leeds and the cafe at the Old Fire Station Gipton. We resell items donated or collected from individuals and the visitors to Leeds Waste Tecycling sites. We are part of the national furniture reuse network.
