Our Outreach Advocacy Workers support disabled people in Greater Manchester to access any services and information necessary to find or maintain successful employment or training.

We also provide information about employing disabled people to individuals, businesses and organisations in the area. We aim to keep people up to date with what they need to know and provide practical information on removing barriers in the workplace.

We now also offer training in employment self advocacy skills to disabled people.

Our Team Offers a Range of Flexible Support and Information
