Welcome to Boaz
Boaz is a recent initiative set up to help address the lack of facilities for people with learning disabilities once they have left full time education. Its aim is to create an atmosphere of the work ethic for people who otherwise cannot gain employment. It began five years ago and became a charity in its own right in November 2007. Its long term desire is to be able to employ some of those who access its facilities.
The Project is currently open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday: 9.30 to 4pm. Members bring their own lunch. We provide drinks.
Boaz is run by a small group of fully committed trustees and Manager Mike and Assistant Managers Sally, Liz, Vee and Jules, with the help of many lovely volunteers.
Our Mission:
The Boaz Project exists to provide an excellent horticultural facility with related work opportunities at which adults with learning disabilities may come together to be valued and productive. Its purpose is to give dignity and confidence in a happy, safe and supportive environment enabling greater independence, social inclusion and employability.
The Project’s Christian ethos seeks to address the whole person, body, mind and spirit, aiming to release and realise each persons full human potential to the glory of God.
