Skills4Action

Many people need pre-work training before they start a job.

Skills4Action provides pre-work training.

Aims of the project

Training takes place in the local community.

There is training for individuals, and also group activities.

The project aims to provide work experience for all people with learning disabilities or mental health needs. This includes people with profound disabilities too.

This kind of training is good for young people. It can help them to develop 'people skills.' People skills are good when you are working with people.

Skills4Action training gives people basic experience of working with people.

It is good for the community too. The Skills4Action team carries out tasks like gardening, or small decorating and household jobs for older people.

Doing small jobs for older people can help them live independently in their own houses for longer.

Skills4Action wants to change how people think of people with learning disabilities or mental health needs.

Skills4Action helps the public to see that people with learning disabilities or mental health needs can contribute positive things to the community.
