In addition to our youth and community services targeted at people with a learning disability, we also provide an Access to Work service.

It is funded for in-work support through the Department of Work and Pensions' Access to Work Programme, although there is scope for this service to expand into other areas of supported employment.

It is the largest provider of the programme within London with a wide breadth of scope in terms of location and range of disabilities supported.
