Across the Lancashire services we are able to offer a range of social enterprise options for adults and young people with additional needs; these services are designed to support people to develop skills with confidence in a supportive working environment whilst offering a valued service in the heart of the local community.
The learning and development of each person supported is at the forefront of our enterprises’ ethos – whether it be developing soft skills such as time-management and flexibility, technical skills in relation to a particular work environment/industry or simply growing in confidence and making new friends. People are supported in a small group setting by industry professionals, with placements currently offered in the following areas;
- Catering
- Horticulture
- Retail
- Printing
- Recycling
- Media
- Customer service
- Animal care
- The arts
As a part of a person’s placement we are also able to provide support from our internal job coaches, who will support each person in achieving any work-based goals and in sourcing additional work experience or paid work if desired.
