Action For Kids
People: Supporting young people to fulfil their potential
We would like to support local young people with disabilities and autism to get into employment and cross the barriers to independence.
About this cause
Disabled children and young people face massive barriers to accessing appropriate equipment, education, employment, healthcare, housing and society in general. AFK believes in a world where everyone with a disability lives the life they choose. We fund specialist mobility equipment for disabled children and young people. We deliver employability skills and support into work for young people aged 11–26 with disabilities and autism.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We work to improve disabled young peoples’ skills, expectations, aspirations and confidence, enabling them to reach their potential and get into a job they love. We want to challenge perceptions around disability in society and the workplace, and promote equality, diversity and inclusion.
