Description:

Unlock Your Business Potential with Local Support in Causeway Coast and Glens!

Are you or someone you support living with a disability and dreaming of starting a business?

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council in collaboration with Enterprise North West, Roe Valley Enterprises and Go Succeed, are hosting an event exploring best practice examples in inclusive entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on disability/long term health conditions, in to order to help inform delivery enterprise supports.

For many disabled people or those with long term health conditions wishing to enter the workforce on their own terms, self-employment and entrepreneurship can be a very worthwhile and empowering option to achieve more independence. It provides the flexibility and freedom to choose your own hours and working conditions, however, it can be an extremely daunting experience navigating the support on where to start.

Through this event, attendees will hear from keynote speakers who will provide inspirational, lived-experience stories about their successful pathways to entrepreneurship alongside specialist support organisations, who will help directly with the startup process and identify the appropriate sources of expertise, funding and any additional support.

There will also be a Live Q&A examining further barriers into employment, followed by lunch and networking.

Please note, as this is an in-person event, the registration numbers for this are restricted and we ask you to book considerately. We are also offering the option to avail of a live-streaming ticket to participate online.
