We run the “Real Jobs for Real People” project. A European Social Fund and Southampton City Council funded project.

The project is for people

• With a physical and/or learning disability who attend a day centre
• Living in Southampton
• Attending a sheltered workshop

We give people who enrol on the project a chance to try new things that in the past they have not been able to.

Such as trying:

• Work experience
• Voluntary work
• Paid work
• College or informal learning

With our help people will have more choices giving them a chance to make decisions about their future. We do this by:

• Confidence building
• Increasing social skills
• Giving more options
• Helping people back into the community

Due to funding this project is due to end in March 2008
