Bournemouth disability charity to stage exhibition
The SAMEE charity is staging an exhibition of the work of interns in the Patch Project at Bobby’s from Tuesday 6 to Friday 16 May.
Artworks from interns at a Bournemouth charity which helps disabled people to start their own business will be on display at an exhibition at Bobby’s department store in Bournemouth Square from Tuesday 6 to Friday 16 May.
The SAMEE charity (Support and Mentoring Enabling Entrepreneurship) programme aims to give participants who have a learning difficulty, long-term health condition or who are neurodivergent the opportunity to gain essential self-employment skills and relevant work experience ahead of embarking on their journey into starting their own businesses.
This is achieved whilst they concurrently complete the ‘Steps Into Self Employment’ qualification – the UK’s first co-created level 1 certificate in self-employment skills for disadvantaged young people.
This exhibition was put together by the SAMEE charity with the help of Nathan White, founder of ethical clothing streetwear Jeenewoosh Clothing & Art. A reformed drug addict who used art therapy to help him conquer his addiction, White is a champion for creativity and social enterprise.
Rob Amey, SAMEE young person lead, said: “The SAMEE team are excited and incredibly proud of this monumental step for the interns who have been fully involved with planning the exhibition from the outset by organising publicity and promotion material as well as creating the artworks and photography pieces for the event.
The exhibition is in the Patch Project Community space.
Amey added: “Everyone at SAMEE charity would like to thank The Patch Project for accommodating the exhibition, their assistance with the interns and for allowing us to showcase the skills and talents of our interns in their brilliant community space.”
