A fair day's work for a fair day's pay... isn't this something we have all come to
expect out of life? For people with a physical disability, a learning
difficulty or a mental health issue, though, finding paid employment too often
fails. For many, despite a very real will to work and to contribute to society,
they face a life sentence of collecting benefits.
Pathway Workshop exists to redress the imbalance and provide a platform for work
by providing training and paid employment to as many disadvantaged individuals
as we can. The Workshop provides practical experience and the opportunity to
learn new skills in woodworking and machining. Individuals are able to progress
at their own pace, thus achieving their maximum potential.
They work hard recycling waste wood in a fully equipped mill workshop making high quality garden furniture and animal habitats - and they receive a fair wage in return.
Following individually tailored training programmes and with careful and
supportive counselling, staff may progress to the mainline job market. If not,
Pathway Workshop can guarantee that their lives, confidence and self-esteem will
be hugely improved. They will quite rightly form part of our valued working
society.
