Menphys Work Ready Crew
Education & Skills
We would like to provide work placement opportunities for 14-18 year old disabled young people in order to prepare them for work
About this cause
Menphys provides support and services for Leicestershire’s children and young people aged 0-25 with disabilities, complex health needs and special education needs and support for their families and carers. Our ambition is for a future of equal choices and opportunities for disabled children and their families empowering them to live as ordinary lives as possible and aspiring for the extra-ordinary. We aim to provide a range of holistic, impartial and empowering specialist services. We aim to identify unmet need and offer effective support. We value diversity and believe everyone has equal rights to take part fully in their community.
How this cause brings people in the community together
This project will provide valuable experience for disabled 14-18 year olds and increase their employability. Under the guidance of a Placement Coordinator, each student will benefit from valuable business experience which will include time-keeping, teamwork, business relationships and business culture. Dependent on the type of placement, specific work-related skills will be gained.
