    I might try and come up for that, could do with an inclusive employer, in Sheffield though ideally, it'd take me all morning to get to Leeds just to work for a few hours.

    That would be fab if you could @SheffieldMan1976, although understandable it's quite a distance to travel. I would have liked to go myself to get an understanding of what they have on offer and how it all works. Maybe next time 😊 Have you spoken to our employment services to see if they've anyone locally?

    I'd think that's the whole point.

    Although I've been to, for want of a better word, normal Job Fairs, and all the jobs on offer were either the Armed Forces, Call Centres or the Coppers, none of which a disabled person could realistically do.

    Good question. I've asked the team @cherrypineapple47 and hopefully will have a response soon.

    I would've been coming up for this next week, but another resident's going to her Dad's in Derbyshire, and we'd have to be back by 12, so by the time we got up to Leeds from Sheffield we'd have to turn round and come back so it's not worth coming, I cancelled the tickets yesterday.
