🌍 This week, we’re proud to celebrate #NationalInclusionWeek2025, led by Inclusive Employers. This year’s theme reminds us that #NowIsTheTime for urgent and strategic action on inclusion. At the Community Foundation for Surrey, we are proud to administer the Surrey Supported Employment (SSE) Fund, which helps people with disabilities or mental ill health to overcome barriers to work. By supporting access to employment, the Fund strengthens both inclusion in workplaces and the wider well-being of communities across Surrey. Since 2019, the SSE Fund has enabled partner organisations to deliver swift and effective support directly to those who need it most. 💡 In 2024 alone, the Fund provided essential items - from laptops and training to specialist chairs, printers, and clothing - supporting over 140 people to access and sustain employment. ✨ For 2025, we are delighted to be working with: Active Prospects Surrey Choices The Lighthouse, The Hope Hub Together, we are building a more inclusive Surrey, where everyone can thrive. 🔗 Learn more about the Surrey Supported Employment Fund here https://www.cfsurrey.org.uk/fund/surrey-supported-employment-fund #NowIsTheTime #NationalInclusionWeek #Inclusion #Equity #EDI #InclusionMatters (fb)
