My Role is to support students with learning difficulties on Placements. 
I have been attending the Weeecharity for nearly a year now. The 
Weeecharity is a great place for students to learn skills towards 
employment and to gain independence. The students learn problem 
solving, independent working and fine motor skills. Whilst allowing 
them to experience a workplace environment.
A few of my students have told me that the Weeecharity Placement is 
unlike any other that they have been on.
They find stripping computers and other electrical items, stimulating 
and enjoyable. It is something that they can get immediately into. It 
its amazing the differences in my students after only a few weeks on 
Placement.
They have become more self assured. whilst learning what is expected of 
them and what they must do to complete their task. They grow in confidence, with 
students who struggle with the social aspect of college and in general 
striking up conversations with me and staff at the Weeecharity. There 
was one week when a quiet student started and never said a word. A few 
weeks later they were joking with members of staff and asking them for 
help when they were stuck.
A large part of this is due to the work environment at Weeecharity. It 
is a relaxed environment, allowing students to come out of their shell 
and become their authentic self. Whilst at the same having rules and 
standards regarding safety and conduct. Staff at Weeecharity are 
approachable and always willing to help. This makes a huge difference 
to students who often struggle with confidence and how to express 
themselves, due to their disabilities and learning difficulties. All 
this to say that I would recommend Weeecharity whole heartedly. Whether 
it is help with gaining employment in the future or to learn 
independence and to grow in confidence. Weeecharity will help you to 
achieve this...
