Social Firms UK

There are several options for disabled people wanting to return to work from unemployment. The MIND website, has a comprehensive description of various work options. Visit the information system, entering ‘work options’ into the search box.

The Social Firms UK Resource Centre Library has a wide range of material about benefits, which can be rented or bought. Alternatively visit Job Centre Plus and enter ‘benefits’ into the site search for information regarding various benefit allowances.

Social Firms UK seeks to advise and support people setting up Social Firm businesses, not to find jobs for individuals. We would obviously like, one day, to be able to signpost individual enquiries to a Social Firm in every town of the country, but until we achieve that kind of critical mass we are unable to assist individuals seeking work in Social Firms through us. You can get information, support and advice from a Disability Employment Advisor (DEA) and Access to Work through Job Centre Plus.
