    A Harrogate charity has held an exhibition to showcase the artistic work of its disabled learners.

    Disability Action Yorkshire staged the event last month at its Hornbeam Park training centre.

    The exhibition included art and photographs by 14 students based on the theme of heraldry and quiet places.

    Students designed coats of arms reflecting their personalities and shot images of quiet places.

    Harriet Walker, the charity’s deputy training manager, said:

    “We were delighted to have held our first ever photography and art exhibition, which demonstrated the creativity of our learners.
    For the last few months, they had been working on the theme of heraldic art and quiet places, which they captured on paper and in ‘megapixels’.

    Founded 84 years ago, Disability Action Yorkshire helps disabled people live the life of their choosing.

    It has headquarters and a training centre on Hornbeam Park, a residential care home on Claro Road, and a holiday lodge in Lincolnshire.

    Guy Tweedy, who joined Disability Action Yorkshire board of trustees last month said:

    “During the short time I’ve been a trustee with the charity, I’ve also met staff and customers at its Claro Road care home and have been incredibly impressed by the dedication of all involved.”
