Denbighshire County
Council is working in partnership with social enterprise Community Catalysts to
help those wishing to turn their own dreams into reality to offer care and
support to older and disabled people in their local communities.
Community Catalysts
offer free professional advice to help people work for themselves and provide
care and support across the county.
Thanks to this
initiative there are now 16 micro-providers working for themselves in
Denbighshire bringing their own ideas to life to help others.
And now the scheme is
offering support for budding entrepreneurs to make a difference to the lives of
young people.
Nick Hughes Community
Catalyst for Denbighshire, said: “We have supported a number of micro-providers
in realising their own dreams to provide care and support to older and disabled
people and now we want to help those with great ideas to help younger members
of the local community.
“Community Catalysts
can help you to set up as self-employed offering support to young people with
additional needs or a disability in a community group or one-to-one.
“It has been fantastic
to see individuals wanting to put their own personal ideas to use to help
others and I hope we can see this carry on to support our younger generation.
Councillor Elen
Heaton, Lead Member for Health and Social Care, said: “It is fantastic to see
how this partnership has already helped a number of individuals breathe life
into their own ideas to help people in the local community and I look forward
to hearing and seeing the support coming through for our younger community
members
