    The Bell Independence Project is FREE and open to EVERYONE – with emphasis on teaching practical skills to young people ages 13-29 INCLUDING accomodation to people (of average or above average cognition) with learning differences or who are gender identity/orientation non-binary.

    Your TEXT allows us to let you know where the sessions will be each week (one of three roving locations) and allows us to make sure we have materials and supplies for every participant. We can accommodate up to four people each meeting. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

    Ambivalent at this moment as to whether there will be a Bell Independence lesson taught by Mr. Wayne Skilton – on renovating trash-picked furniture, carpentry and tool safety on Tues, Jan 28 from 4pm until 6pm at 2611 Barnes Avenue, Abington. We will certainly clear all of the snow and we have a beautiful newly-installed woodburning stove to heat the workshop. We need to hear from you as to whether you can join us this Tuesday.
