WE ARE OPEN AGAIN. Working with HCC and PCC we are gradually increasing our teams at each provision. Those that are back, are following the rules, working safely and enjoying being back at work.
Art Invisible has moved to Hewitt’s in Emsworth, they have a large, airy room with its own entrance, garden and facilities – its perfect.
Hewitt’s Community Cafe had a refurbishment during the lockdown, its all looking fabulous, our much smaller team are offering a reduced, but popular menu – Pop in to see us.
Staunton is brilliant, Storey Garden, our new 3 acre growing space is coming together and looking amazing. Each team is working separately, each responsible for a different area of the farm, park and gardens.
Improving Work Opportunities for People with Learning Disabilities
The Right to Work Community Interest Company (CIC), based in and around the Havant/Portsmouth area, offers a new and exciting range of work related day service opportunities for people with learning disabilities. Working in partnership with local businesses we create sustainable and appropriate work opportunities for people who can and want to work, but require support to do so.
Day Services – But Done Differently!
Throughout the UK there are over 1.5 million people with learning disabilities, less than 6% are in work. This depressing statistic has far reaching repercussions, most often it leads to unfulfilled lives that lack choice, opportunities, challenges, socialisation and friendships, at worst it leads to a greatly increased chance of mental health illness. The Right to Work changes this, offering a great range of work opportunities; hospitality, horticulture, retail, art and enterprise. Through working within teams of like minded people, lives are changed, self esteem and confidence is raised and individuals have a far greater sense of fulfillment and well being.
Current Provisions:
Hewitt’s Cafe – Emsworth, Monday – Friday
Staunton Country Park – Havant, Monday to Friday
Art Invisible – Stable Cottage, Havant, Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Somerstown Community Hub, Thursdays only.
