The Blueberry Academy team is dedicated to providing specialist support for local people suffering with mental health issues, learning difficulties, and other disabilities, as they seek to develop employability and independence opportunities across York and beyond. The Blueberry Pop Up Shop is just one of the ways this fantastic organisation provide their trainees with vocational training and supported work opportunities.
From prints to pom pom chicks, the Blueberry Pop Up Shop showcase a wide range of beautifully up-cycled or handmade items created in Yorkshire by adults with learning difficulties and disabilities. Whether from individual sellers or local organisations, the Blueberry Pop Up crafts items both in their shop and the co-operative workshop that’s based as the main Blueberry Academy at the Melbourne Centre.
I like the Pop Up Shop as it helps me build confidence throughout the years by serving and dealing with customers. I also like making things to sell in the shop. When other trainees sell items and customers buy their items it brings a smile to the trainee’s faces.
