Community micro-enterprise project in Cardiff
This partnership with Cardiff Council, through funding from UKSPF, supports people to develop community micro-enterprises that offer increased choice of personal care and support in the community. This could include things like practical help around the home and help with getting up and ready for the day. We’re working alongside partners to identify and support people interested in establishing their own community micro-enterprises. As part of the project, we have developed a directory to showcase community enterprises in the local area.
Quote from Jane Thomas – Director, Adults Housing & Communities:
“We are delighted to be working with Community Catalysts to develop a community micro-enterprise scheme. This is a real opportunity to increase the choice available for people who need care and support while also creating flexible job opportunities for people who want to give back to their local communities”.
If you’re thinking about working for yourself, contact your local Community Catalyst, Sam Walker on sam.walker@communitycatalysts.co.uk, or 07787 436199.
