About Milltown Day Workshop

Milltown Day Workshop Description

Milltown Day Workshop was set up in 1996 to provide practical work activities for local people with a range of disabilities. Currently there are nine people with a learning disability whose home is at Milltown, and a further twenty two local work in the Day Workshop every week.
Some have a learning disability; some have had accidents or a stroke, and some have mental health issues. The Day Workshop provides opportunities for our workers to be involved in a wide range of work and skills; crafts, woodwork, gardening, animal husbandry, and refurbishing tools within a social group, giving individuals a big choice and inclusion.
Second hand tools are refurbished and sent to Africa to be used by local craftsmen, many of whom have a disability. The Day Workshop is very much a part of the local community who visit in groups or individually to purchase hand-made items for sale in our shop.

Being away from family and friends hasn't been easy. But here I found a second family, a community that has supported me during all this time. A SENSE OF BELONGING. Thanks for every moment I have had here! Is not a goodbye, is just a see you later. Rosa

Morag and Duncan have been refurbishing cupboards doors to bright up our craft room! Despite the weather we brought the sun back to Milltown Day Workshop! Arbuthnott Milltown

Hi everyone! What a busy day, the craft group had a trip out to buy some craft items and after that we all had so much fun painting tiles with sharpies and made them bleed. AMAZING.

Good morning everyone! Our workers had a busy day yesterday at the wood workshop. Making bird boxes, cheese boards and coasters were some of their jobs. Busy bees buzzing!
