I had a dream a little over five years ago to help my differently abled adult son and others like him to have a job that pays. For no fault of their own, they were born into this world with a variety of challenges, and for the most part the world is often reluctant to give differently-abled adults a FIRST Chance to work. We are trying to change that paradigm one treat at a time. With your help we can employ more differently abled adults and continue to shine a light on the need for inclusive work environments. See below for the link to donate #Firstchancetowork #employmentfordisabledadults #differentlyablednotdisabled
Our core values represent our promises to our employees, our volunteers, and to you, our supporters. We strive to create a welcoming, safe, and accessible environment in which each of our differently-abled team members can thrive. As we near our 5-year anniversary, these are the guiding principles we are committed to: 💙 Dignity & Belonging 💙 Entrepreneurship 💙 Collaboration 💙 People Over Profit 💙 Diversity & Equity 💙 Learning & Curiosity Our hope is that, with your support, we will continue to grow in these next 5 years to help more disabled adults experience what it is like to be part of an inclusive workplace environment.

Was an honour to be asked to speak at the latest Quartet Community Foundation event. I used the time to talk about the social model of disability. The social model of disability is the understanding that disability is something that is created by society. This is because disabled people face barriers that stop them from taking part in society in the same way as non-disabled people. There are physical barriers that disabled people face. These could include things like: - A sign that someone with a visual impairment can’t read. - An inaccessible building without wheelchair ramps. - A webpage with flashing animations that could trigger a seizure. There are also social barriers or attitudinal barriers, like stereotypical beliefs that non-disabled people have about disabled people. Assuming that a disabled person “can’t do” something creates a barrier for that person. According to the social model of disability, it’s these barriers that make a person disabled. Disability isn’t something that exists inside your body or your mind. It’s something that is created by an inaccessible society. Here at Paul's Place, we work to break down these barriers every day.
"What do disabled people need to thrive?" This was the theme of our latest Behind the Scenes event for fundholders, which took place earlier this month at one of FACE's youth centres in South Gloucestershire. A big thank you to Lynda Williams and Kayley Waller from Paul's Place and Debbie Teml from FACE, who spoke passionately about how they are supporting disabled people in their communities. Access to our regular “Behind the Scenes” events across the South West is one of the many benefits of becoming a Quartet Community Foundation fundholder.
