Project Amity aims to combat loneliness amongst the local elderly population by reaching out to people who may suffer from loneliness, and encouraging them to visit local organisations in order build strong friendships to prevent feelings of loneliness. Currently the group are involved in growing vegetables, knitting blankets for the premature baby ward and dance classes. Amity is an opportunity for all Enactus Lancaster students along with other volunteers to give back to our community while also helping to develop resources for the other projects.
Difference Enabled worked one on one with local autistic individuals to develop social, personal, and employability skills. To better support the individuals, Difference Enabled worked with a small business Zest which prepared and sold salads for individuals to practise their skills and gain work experience. The ingredients were all from those grown by Green Lancaster as well as the volunteers from Amity.
