Social
role valorisation, by creating a sustainable business that supplies a
real need within the community.

The
creation of an emerging social firm whereby a minimum of 25% of the employees
are people with disabilities including people with mental health issues.
Enhanced
opportunities and lifelong skills for people disadvantaged in, or excluded
from, the labour market, directly tackling severe, long term and continual
inequalities and contributing to long term independence and self reliance.
