Outstanding Achievement awards given for volunteering

Over the past year, we have helped 900 people with autism or a learning, physical or sensory disability to find work placements through our Surrey Choices EmployAbility service.

The success of the service was celebrated recently at our Making a Difference awards where we highlighted what a difference being within a work environment can make to our customers lives.  However, it’s not just our customers who have seen the advantages – some of the biggest employers in the country have benefitted from adding hard working, enthusiastic and skilled individuals to their teams.

Accent Housing and Surrey Choices

Over the past few months, Surrey Choices has been working with Accent Housing Association to provide assistance to their residents to maintain their gardens. This partnership formed when Accent had to withdraw the assisting gardening service they used to offer to some of their elderly and vulnerable residents.

Surrey Choices provide a range of support services dedicated to improving independence, confidence and life skills of people with a range of disabilities and support needs in their local community.
