SOLD - Shoreham Opportunities for Learning Differences is a training hub based in the SOLD high street shop in Shoreham-by-Sea.

They offer purposeful and meaningful work experience to adults with learning differences in a realistic shop setting. Their aim is that the adults who train with them furnish themselves with a whole range of work related skills that they can take onto future placements and ultimately achieve the goal off paid employment.

"All of our trainees have their own talents and we love to support them and help them grow their skills in what they are passionate about".

Nine of the trainees have demonstrated amazing artistic and creative abilities, so they set up the SOLD Studio. This space showcases their talents from digital and fine art, to photography. As well as original works of art, their unique designs are reproduced in a range of products that are now sold in store and at carefully selected venues. These range from cards and cushions, to mugs and prints. The sense of achievement and self worth this affords the individual is immeasurable, coupled with a hefty cut of the profits.
