As 2025 draws to a close, we’re thrilled to share the latest news from Supported Employment West Sussex, our partnership initiative bringing together Aldingbourne Trust WorkAid and Workability from Impact Initiatives. This collaboration continues to provide vital employment support for individuals across West Sussex, including those with lifelong disabilities, physical and sensory challenges, acquired brain injuries, and carers looking to enter or return to work.
At WorkAid, we have had another fantastic year. Since July, the second year of our contract, we have supported 21 people to gain paid employment, 16 to retain their jobs, and 25 to move into voluntary positions. The team continues its quest to find new employment opportunities, and our emphasis on employer engagement remains the key to our success. We have secured some fantastic work experience programmes with local employers, which have not only helped people gain valuable experience but have also led to paid employment. We recently held our first parent/carer meeting, and the feedback we received was wonderful. As a result, we will now be offering this opportunity every six months. We’re also delighted to welcome Oliver Harvey and Turner Reynolds to the team as our new Connect to Work Advisors. Their expertise and enthusiasm are already making a real difference as we continue to grow the programme and reach more people across the county. Looking back over the year, it’s clear that Supported Employment West Sussex is more than a programme - it’s a partnership built on opportunity, inclusion, and meaningful change. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together and excited to continue supporting individuals into 2026 and beyond, helping them gain independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose through work.
