Hello

I would like to tell you about some free employment skills based workshops that are being run by us – Friends Action North East.

There are 2 workshops in total and each workshop is a maximum of 2 hours in length. The maximum per workshop is 8 people.

The workshops are aimed at people who are neurodiverse and people with a learning disability aged 16+ that live in the North East. The themes are based on some of the things that people with lived experience have told us they find difficult in the workplace around social interaction, or can be specific barriers for them when either in work or thinking about getting a job or a volunteer role.

They include themes such as:

1. What makes a happy workplace
2. How to feel happy at work
3. Professional boundaries and work place interactions
4. Reasonable adjustments
5. Asking for help and more

These workshops will also be an opportunity for us to talk to people about other things they may find difficult when at work, or things that may prevent them feeling safe, supported and confident in the work place, so we can then develop these workshops in a more holistic and tailored way to share with others.

We are happy to travel to you if you can provide us with training space and have a group of at least 4 people attending, or alternatively you can book onto both our workshops at 1 Strawberry Place (see details attached).

If we get high interest we will book further dates at Strawberry place or an alternative accessible and central venue.

For more information or to book your place please contact me, Keelie Garrard:
