Individuals like this rarely get the opportunity to get so involved in a creative activity that will enable participation in mainstream society which is why the work of Manchester Ceramic Enterprise is so valuable as it helps these disadvantaged individuals gain a regular and meaningful occupation whilst they strive to change their lives for the better. Art with a Heart fully supports their cause and is honoured to feature their work within this show.
