Slice of Life Australia: SOLA is a local not for profit charity that offers employment/training and work experience opportunities to people with a disability. They offer catering, and sell home style fresh food from their shop. For the past 3 years they have been establishing a ‘Sustainable Living Program’ where they can expand employment/training and work experience opportunities for people with disabilities in Horticulture and Animal Husbandry. They aim to utilise the fresh produce grown on-site in their catering & training kitchen, and recycle their current scraps into chook food and rich compost. So far they have raised enough money to half complete their purpose built facility on their 1 acre site at Terara. The facility will allow them to accommodate people with disabilities inclusive of wheelchair participants.
