Who we are...

With over 25 years’ experience in providing high quality results in hand packing, hand assembly, digital print, t-shirt print and bulk mailings with postage discounts we are extremely confident that you will be satisfied with the results.  
Our priority is to provide training and employment opportunities to adults with learning disabilities and or Autism. We create real work environments and have supported hundreds of our students into paid employment. We have 12 students per day keen to learn and eager to get started on new projects under the supervision of our vocational mentor staff team.
100% of the profit generated by Orchardville Works goes back into delivering the objectives of the Charity.
