Social Enterprise

HAIL supports people with learning disabilities to take control of their own future and be involved in the development of the services they want.

HAIL supports people to be employed through the development of services. The aim is to change the culture of services supporting people with learning disabilities into employment, through the development of new work and leisure opportunities that are run and owned by people with learning disabilities.

One way in which we can do this is to support people with their project and business ideas, HAIL's employment service My Way Forward have staff who are knowledgeable and experienced in business advice. They will help individuals develop a business plan and look for ways of getting funding and running a business.

Social Enterprises and Micro-enterprises

Social enterprises are organisations that work as business models with an aim to make profit but have social aims as well. Micro-enterprises are based on an American model of people running small businesses around the needs and ambitions of one individual.

HAIL have developed several Social Enterprises and Micro-enterprises with individuals including:

• Downhills Park Café
• Stars in the Sky
• Green Giants
• Spotless
• Walter and Mary
