Towards Independence and Inclusion
Our Towards Independence and Inclusion Project addresses more individual, social and emotional aspects of working life. This is achieved by designing an individualised programmes of work for each young person. The programme focuses on further helping the young people who used to attend our traditional WRL Services. It does so by offering:
- A resource base from which to receive support for such things as looking for a job or working to address areas of development.
- Individual support for integrating irto the community (e.g. accessing the local community, shopping or travelling independently).
- The opportunity to further develop their confidence, independence and skills in the workplace.

Peer Mentoring - a positive role model
We offer a limited number of peer mentoring opportunities to young adults with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. In addition to providing other young people with a positive role model and one to one support in their work tasks, peer mentoring also involves representing Action For Kids at promotional and public events (see Karen's story opposite).
*Peer mentoring opportunities are available to those over the age of 26
