At Work Speaking Up Group will support people with LD’s and ASC around employment, work and the workplace.
Based at Community House, South Street, Bromley, BR1 1RH, we will be running online monthly meetings via Zoom for members to share experiences, stories and the barriers they face in the workplace. Working in partnership with Bromley Mencap, as well as links with other supported voluntary organisations, members can join in the conversation and have a voice!
Our aim is
To increase confidence, self-esteem and resilience in the workplace
Awareness of the positive and negative experiences of people with differences in employment.
Understanding their employment rights
To supporting people to have a more active role in their employment
Challenging misconceptions of LD and ASC workers in the workplace and to dispel beliefs
Greater cooperation between employers, employees and their circle of support.
Our monthly meetings will provide members the opportunity to:
Connect with others in similar situations
Share stories and experiences
Offer help, guidance and signpost
Have their voices heard
We meet on the last Tuesday of the month, 6.30pm – 8.00pm
