My award account Awards Events Blog Get involved Our work About us Closing the Disability Employment Gap Home Our work Past work Closing the Disability Employment Gap Backing enterprising people with ambitions to improve the job market Unemployment has been steadily falling in the UK, yet not everyone who wants to work can gain appropriate, meaningful work. According to Scope, disabled people are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled people. They face multiple disadvantages into work and can then experience discrimination in the workplace. We know that people have enterprising ideas to change this and transform employment for disabled people. We have partnered with Scope, to back social entrepreneurs across the UK with support to start and grow their ideas, projects or ventures. How can we support you?
