About this service
The Handmade for Hope pilot program commenced in early 2020 working with clients to create handcrafts for the local market. Operating out of Orca place, the project was intended to support ICCS clients in their trajectory towards independence through learning artisan skills, small scale business management and most importantly the soft skills of confidence and of connections with the community through volunteers and local artists. Through volunteer-led training, program participants gain hands-on skills in art and crafting. Revenues from product sales are re-invested into project inputs, with a small proportion distributed directly to program participants as a milestone of success.
