Episode 21: Renovation of the Basement
This is one of the most important monents in the history of Authistic People Help Association 'Together Forward'.
Together with VELUX Foundations from Denmark, we are setting up one of the first companies in Poland that employs authistic people.
'Together Forward' is one of six organization form Poland and Czech Republic which are financially supported by Velux Foundation in 'Summer call 2012'.
Right now, using the recieved finance, we are renovating the basement to create space for the authistic people employing company.
There are approximately 10,000 people with authism and Asperger syndrome in Poland.
Currently there are two social enterprises hiring authistic people in Poland: one called 'Farm of Life' near Krakow and the other one in Wilcza Góra near Warsaw.
Our company will be the third to hire authistic people.
The company will employ 20 clients of the Association; each of them will be working in one of five workshops:
office workshop, multimedia workshop, printing workshop, culinary workshop and handicraft workshop.
Our company's offer will include services provided by a common advertising agency,
such as design and production of business cards, calendars, posters, banners and short advertising spots,
all of which you can order from us and expect quality not different from the existing agencies'.
Our company will offer a wide range of services. In addition to an advertising agency, a printing house and secure document shredding services will be included.
We hope that our company will become competitive and prospering on the Lubuskie market or even further.
The workshops will be managed by instructors, each of them educated in their field and accordingly to the facility's domain.
For example, the culinary workshop will be under supervision of a cook.
Also, an assistant will be employed in each facility to support the Association's clients during the work.
In addition to taking part in professional activation, the Association's clients will be taking part in social rehabilitation activities and therapy.
We are very happy, so please keep your fingers crossed for us.
