Why We Do It
People with learning disabilities in the UK face significantly lower employment rates compared to the general population. In the UK fewer than 5% of adults with learning disabilities are in paid employment.
Employers who actively work to include individuals with learning difficulties often experience positive outcomes.
We want to bring these positive outcomes to all employers.
We work with the employer to establish clear performance expectations from the start and ensure that the participant can pick up the tasks required of them to make sure that productivity is not affected.
How We Keep It Free
Our funders and partners are the people who allow us to do what we do, and their support means that we can continue to offer our services for free to organisations and individuals.
Our in-work Job Coaching can be funded through Access to Work and allows us to support and train individuals within a role.
Our grant funding allows us to work with other organisations and employers, offering continued support.
Our funders include the National Lottery, Leeds Community Foundation, UnLtd, Arnold Clarke and Coop.
