Disabled Workers eNews Aug '07 (31/08/2007)
Since our funding ended at the beginning of the year I have been keeping the project going, with the voluntary support of Dean, whose contract ended with the lottery grant, on the reserves we had built up over the previous 3 years. However this reserve is now exhausted. I feel this is a worthwhile project that has helped many disabled people to find work and employment, and I am committed to keeping the project going. We are still hopeful of securing European Funding hopefully at the beginning of next year when the Welsh Assembly and WEFO has finalised arrangements for this. This is of course not certain and we are continuing to seek funding from elsewhere but this seems to be becoming increasingly difficult. In order to keep the project going, whilst we try and secure future funding, we have closed our Llandovery office and I will now be working without pay from my home address. Of course the project will still incur expenses such as website hosting, accountancy fees, telephone, postage, stationary etc. so I hope you will continue to support the work we are doing. I if you feel there are ways to can help either with securing ongoing funding our promoting the work we do to achieve greater public awareness please don’t hesitate to contact me. Since the end of our lottery funding, we have been working hard to keep our project going. If you feel our project is worthwhile and you able to support the work we are doing please visit here. http://www.disabledworkers.org.uk/SupportUs.asp One thing that I feel is important to remember is that the Disabled Workers Co-operative was established as a way of co-operatively marketing the products and services offered by disabled people. The idea was simply if all the database members promoted the Disabled Workers Co-operative to their customers then everyone would benefit from having access to a wider customer base.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
The Disabled Workers Co-operative is dependant on the generosity of its donors to continue our work in helping disabled people to help themselves. Our aim is twofold - to raise the independence of disabled people (for those that want it) by enabling them to take an active role in the economy and achieve a greater sense of self-worth and to raise awareness of the contribution that disabled people can make to society. If you have found our service useful and it fits in with your charitable aims, why not consider supporting the work we are doing in helping disabled people to help themselves. For information on making a donation please visit here
