Our vision

A future where people with hidden/invisible conditions are empowered to lead independent lives.

Our mission

To provide accurate and accessible support to enable participants to learn how to budget and develop employment skills to enable them to live a more independent life.

We provide bespoke one-to-one support for those with neurodiverse conditions who are looking to move towards employment.  We also teach people how to budget and ensure that they are accessing all benefits for their situation.  These services are free.

We can:

• Create a realistic action plan of what to cover
• Create a new CV/ update old one
• Teach how and where to look for jobs or voluntary work
• Support with volunteering and job applications
• Learn & practise interview skills especially harder questions
• Teach how to make a realistic budget
• Identify additional potential income
• Help to find appropriate support for the situation and provide a soft hand-over

To continue supporting people with neurodiverse conditions we offer employers training that covers:

• Various types of neurodiverse conditions
• How to make job adverts accessible
• Reasonable adjustments at interviews and in the workplace
• Access to Work

We can provide recruitment services, including DBS checks, and have consultancy packages to support employers in their journey to become more inclusive.

Please note that there is a charge for our employers support, which is used to provide our other services.

Feedback

“There was something about today that made for pure happiness. The smell of the wild garlic. The smokey fire. Sunshine unexpectedly and the company of kind, interested and friendly people.”

“It is very rare for me to be able to relax and feel calm while we are out, but today I felt just that – it was so good for the soul and engaging with the activities on offer was very therapeutic.”

“My heart is quietened by the stillness of this place. I feel rested and at peace.”

The aim of the umbrella organisation, Community Health-Works UK CIC, is to work in collaboration with partners to deliver wellbeing projects to individuals, groups, communities or the workplace, in order to promote overall health and wellbeing and Cooking Good’s aim is to impact on public health outcomes such as reducing childhood and adult obesity and consequent ill-health. Increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables is one measure of our success. 

Other objectives are to improve mental health, to remove barriers which perpetuate health inequality, support self-reliance and reduce stigma around food and health, reduce food waste and work with others around food sustainability. Specific projects to work with particular target groups are available, such as teenage mental health, food and nutrition for older people, cancer patients, those living with life-long conditions, weight management, etc.
