All advice and resources you need expert group during our recent live Q & A

Sally Reynolds, self advisor company

for people with disabilities seeking the creation of a business, the following support is available:

Unltd and SSE : While there may not be a specific aid for disabled people to create their own social enterprise spirit integration is not supported by Unltd and the School of Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) for various social entrepreneurs who want to fix something, which of course include persons with disabilities. Note: The deadline is looming funding SSE work program:

self-employment is now included as a way forward. It is actually less on training and employment information (or should be). However, they are paid by results (jobs) so it is in their interests to help people who really want to work -. If it is through self-employment or a job on the open labor market

Forum employers on disability and BASE: Business who are interested in the employment of people with disabilities, and to participate, either Entrepreneurs with Disability Forum or employer to work with a local employment agency supported - many of whom are basic -. British Association for Supported Employment

(But none of these agencies have nothing to do with the creation of social enterprises, and few companies make money, then I suggest you look for those who can provide direct support Unltd and SSE in the front.)

Products . New Haven launch an initiative called the "additional labor" and it worked very well with private companies such as IBM.

. Bottling Orchardville affected some large employers in the head with the CSR. Following this meeting, one, Coca-Cola has contracted with them to do their bottle recycling and enable them to create more jobs for people with learning disabilities. Kathy Baker wrote a thesis on this subject can be found on the website of social enterprises in the UK.

Off employment can be a powerful marketing tool:

When marketing can and should be used aggressively is to demonstrate the impact of the company for the purposes of recruitment. In my experience, the best marketing for companies that employ disabled people is their ability to turn around a product or service at a competitive price and with extremely high quality. This is the best advertising for any business and is also the best education for people who would otherwise be adversely affected.
