Our Mission...
The social aims of Borders Green Team Enterprises encompass providing employment and training opportunities for adults with learning disabilities in the Scottish Borders while fostering their integration into the community. These aims include facilitating transitions from day care services and schools to meaningful employment, nurturing vocational and social skills development, and combating societal stigma through community engagement. By creating pathways to employment and fostering positive relationships between individuals with disabilities and their communities, Borders Green Team aims to demonstrate the inherent value brought by people with disabilities while promoting openness, inclusivity, and mutual understanding
Our particular aims are to:
- give people with learning difficulties opportunities to contribute to society and the economy by creating routes for transition from day care services and schools
- provide people with learning disabilities with meaningful activity, ownership and purpose in moving towards employment
- build relationships between those with learning disabilities and communities in the Scottish Borders, to address stigma, develop openness and demonstrate the value brought to communities by people with disabilities
- develop transitions from day services, schools and local authority care to employment and supported employment for people with learning difficulties
- use a workplace environment to provide vocational skills, social skills and other soft skills for people with learning difficulties
- develop links with local and national employers to provide routes from the company into supported and independent work
