Mission Employable

At Mission EmployAble, we strongly believe that young adults with learning disabilities have the right to work, to lead fulfilled and purposeful lives, to have their individual gifts and talents recognised and to feel included as valued members of society. There are 1.5 million people with learning disabilities in the UK and almost 94% are unemployed. Far too many are missing out on the basic right to aspire to a career, along with the wider social networks, better emotional and physical health, and increased independence that comes from having a job. They share the same aspirations as everyone else and they want nothing more than the opportunity to demonstrate their full potential. Mission EmployAble aims to train people with learning disabilities, to employ some and help others find work so that they can lead fulfilled lives working and contributing to their local community. Based in a new purpose built pavilion on the existing site of the Chorleywood Cricket Club, Mission EmployAble aims to run a new training café / tea room for cricketers and the community. Through this provision we will provide employment programmes to young adults with a wide range of abilities. We want people with learning disabilities to reach their career potential by finding suitable employment, to be valued in the workplace and to play an active role in their local community.
