A MATES spokesman said: “As some of our existing members have mobility issues this will be just what they need to fully participate in the creative activities. Some of the funding is ring fenced for new tools to expand the range of practical activities.

“We are now looking to recruit new members who would like to come and do what ever interests them, even if it’s just helping to drink the tea and coffee.”
