THE GRASS ROOTS PROJECT

About THE GRASS ROOTS PROJECT

THE 95% CHALLENGE 95% Supported. 5% Employed. 95% of adults with a learning disability in the UK are not in paid work. Not because they can't work, but because the pathway into employment has never been built with them in mind. We're here to change that number. We run a supported employment model that gives adults with learning disabilities real, hands-on training and a genuinely supported route into paid employment. What makes our model different is that we take the risk of hiring away from the business entirely. Through our subscription model, the Community Support Bank, a business can become an employer by proxy, risk free. You subscribe, and your subscription funds a real wage for someone in our programme. There's no HR process, no training plan and no upfront risk on your side. When you're ready, you choose from a pool of work-ready candidates, we manage a supported transition and report back to make sure the placement is working for both sides, and if it isn't the right fit, the individual simply returns to the programme with no cost or complication to your business. This subscription can be funded through a CSR budget set aside for social, environmental and economic communit
