Sheffield Voices Big Voice on Employment - 10am - 2pm

Friday 4th October

We are pleased to announce that Sheffield Voices next Big Voice Conference at the Town Hall is about Employment, Volunteering and Meaningful Activity.

This event is for people with a learning disability and Autistic people living in the Sheffield area. You can come as part of a group, or by yourself. Everyone is welcome – do let us know if you are bringing a bigger group along.

Refreshments and Lunch provided

We know how many of you struggle to do the jobs you want, or feel excluded from talks when employment is not for you.

We want to discuss the different options you have, what you think is good, and what needs to be done better. We will be discussing topics like supported employment and volunteering, being an expert by experience, and talking about what is most important to you, working or otherwise.

We want to hear from as many people as possible. Here’s our Employment Work Pack. We would love it if different services could help people to fill these out or use them as a starting point for sessions.

Please send any completed worksheets to info@sheffieldvoices.org.uk

We would also like to invite representatives of each service to come to our Big Voice event. Ideally this will be 2-4 people per organisation. We have limited space in the town hall, and we want everyone to be comfortable, so please do contact us to book your space.

Please contact us at info@sheffieldvoices.org.uk to book your space.

See our Big Voice Conference Flier for more information about what to expect on the day and our contact details – do contact us if you have any questions!

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
