The Thame Wombles

Orinoco has teamed up with United Response, a national charity that works with adults who have learning disabilities, to run a pilot social enterprise.

United Response won funding to meet the wages and on-costs of a six week pilot project to make art and craft packs from Orinoco scrap. The Wombles have made a selection of their own activity kits and the Princess Fairy Wand Kits.
