The Abbot's Mill Project Community Interest Company

We aim to employ people from within the local community (i.e. Canterbury) as far as possible. We will offer opportunities to people who are disadvantaged in the labour market – especially people with learning difficulties/disabilities. It is estimated that only 7.5% of adults with learning difficulties/disabilities known to Social Services Departments are in employment and the majority of those are working 4 hours/week or less (2). We know that 65% of people with learning disabilities would like a paid job (3).
