We have been selected as a key partner in a new project to support people with learning disabilities in Cornwall into employment.
The project is "Cornwall Works for Learning Disability" and is funded by the European Social Fund. The other key partners are Cornwall People First (a local advocacy group), Cornwall County Council's department of social care and service providers Brandon Trust and Home Farm Trust.
Debbie Crowther has been named as United Response's business development manager, responsible for spearheading the project. She has a wealth of experience working with people with learning disabilities, including facilitating Cornwall's Learning Disability Partnership Board.
"We hope this project will prove the real positive impact employment has for people with learning disabilities, and how to bring that about with intelligent, targeted investment," Debbie said.
"I'm very excited about getting on with the job of finding the excellent potential employees we know are in Cornwall, as well as benefiting from genuine partnership with so many excellent organisations."
United Response was selected as a partner as a result of the excellent results its supported employment schemes have achieved across England.
