Community Catalysts can support you to offer help at home or activities in your community to older or disabled people, including people with learning disabilities.
We’ll walk alongside you and support you to follow the right rules and regulation, market your offer, learn about funding opportunities, feel part of a community and help you access training. With our help, setting up your own community micro-enterprise is easier than you think!
Our support is FREE– funded by your local council.
You don’t need any business or care experience to get our support but you do need to know what good care looks like and want to help people in your local area.
You might want to set up a support group, social club or activity like an inclusive yoga class, painting sessions, DIY support, cookery, gardening, archery, arts and crafts, photography, language classes… you name it, you can do it!
Or you might want to support people to live more independently at home and to be more active in their local community.
If you have an idea for a community activity or support that you’d like to set up and want it to be inclusive of people regardless of age or disability, we can help you! And if you already run a community activity that you’d like to expand we can also support you.
There are many benefits of setting up your own community micro-enterprise.
Most importantly you’ll be supporting people live the life they choose. But there are also other benefits.
You will:
