The Brighter Future Workshop is.
A stand alone Charity whose aims are: -
"To create an awareness of the needs of people with a disability within Lancashire and to promote a positive image of people with disabilities"
The Brighter Future Workshop is a Company Limited by Guarantee which was set up on 11th April 2005 and obtained charity status before opening on 14th July 2005. We now have several employees and nine volunteers.
The workshop is a showcase of good practice on environmental sustainability and equal opportunities. It is a disability friendly facility, equipped for the repair and servicing of electric mobility scooters, wheel chairs, power chairs and other disability equipment.
Young persons (with or without disabilities) will train in the workshop, supervised by specialist staff including engineers and technicians, supported by volunteers, to repair and service electric mobility scooters, wheel chairs, power chairs and other disability equipment.
By taking part, young people with disabilities will learn new skills and gain valuable work experience. As such, their own personal development will be enhanced. With the right support and encouragement, individuals will gain self worth and confidence, which in turn will lead to improved ‘employability’. For many, this may be the first step on the ladder to paid employment.
Trainees will also learn workshop administration and IT skills, so they can help with the costing of repairs, ordering spares and internet research for parts and products; thus further improving their personal development and employability.
