United We Made It

Based in Port Lincoln, South Australia, this drop-in centre, craft workshop and shop supports adults living with disability. Participants make one-off pieces including macramé, restored furniture, sewing, weaving, woodwork, activity kits and household items, and work towards their NDIS goals in a supported setting. The team is made up of eleven workers with varied abilities and interests. The workshop takes an up-cycling approach, repairing and repurposing materials, and the shop sells finished pieces to the public. The group takes part in local events, festivals and markets, visits the leisure centre and foreshore, and exhibits at the Nautilus arts centre.
