A CHARITY that seeks to empower disabled people is holding an open day this week to help the public to learn more about its work.

Just the Job, based in Richmond, offers guidance and training in a range of outdoor skills such as horticulture and craftwork.

Members can then go and put their skills to the test by carrying out valuable community work with the support of the charity.

This Thursday, May 18, the public will get a glimpse behind the scenes of the charity's headquarters at 30 Racecourse Road, Richmond.

The open day, which runs between 11am and 3pm, will also include demonstrations in the Just the job gardens on Quarry Road.
