Three Men and a Lady
Dress up Funny for Money
Four boys from Vision Products (Borderline we know) dressed up "Funny for Money". We collected £121 from our disabled factory and from local companies on the Coed Cae Lane Industrial Estate. Justin Poole won the big dog with guessing the name Clifford (The big RED Dog).

Workstep@Vision Products
Workstep is a government-aided supported employment scheme that was introduced on 1 April 2001. It provides job support to over 22,000 disabled people who face barriers to getting and keeping a job, but who can work effectively with the right support. It enables eligible disabled people to realise their full potential to work within a commercial environment giving them, wherever possible, an opportunity to progress to open employment. The Workstep programme also offers practical assistance to employers.
All Workstep employees have the opportunity to complete a Development Plan and consider how best to progress into unsupported employment, if this is the right choice for the individual.
Vision Products provides support, both to employers and you as a participant, initially for 12 months to help you gain employment and develop in your role towards a goal of unsupported, mainstream employment.
Aim
The aim of Workstep is to provide support in jobs for people with disabilities. Workstep will focus on ensuring that all participants have access to development opportunities. All supported people will have individual Development Plans that are regularly reviewed. These will help individuals to develop their skills, knowledge and experience in order to achieve realistic occupational goals and progress into unsupported employment, if this is the right option for them.
What are we
We are a team of 5 housed by Rhondda-Cynon-Taf County Borough Council looking after people with disabilities across the spectrum. We cover all Rhondda-Cynon-Taf, Bridgend, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Neath and the surrounding areas.
