Youth showcase their skills

The Warkworth based group Adults in Motion (AIM) will hold a market at the Methodist Hall in Hexham Street on March 18, from 10am to 1.30pm.

The market will showcase a range of Aroha Te Ao products including painted woodwork, wax wraps, gifting paper, gift cards, planter boxes with plants, hair accessories and artwork by Cassie, all crafted and handmade by AIM participants.

As well, community members will have stalls exhibiting hand-crafted jewellery, kawakawa balms, homemade jams, cakes and sweet treats, and much more. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate will be served for $2.

AIM provides vocational opportunities for young adults with intellectual disabilities, encouraging them to participate in the wider community.

Programme manager Vasti Liebenberg says this year has got off to a busy start with a number of outings, including a beach day at Matheson Bay, a shopping trip to Costco, a visit to Warkworth Museum and walk through the Parry Kauri Park, and a picnic at the Warkworth Wharf.
Liebenberg says yoga sessions will start soon at the Masonic Hall on Wednesdays from 1pm, when

anyone is welcome to join in for $10 a session.

The group will also hold BBQ hotdog fundraisers, outside The Generosity Corner, on March 5 and April 2.
