New episode out now - I had a chat with Becky Whinnerah, co-founder of Count Me In Collective (CMIC)
Did you know that fewer than 1 in 20 adults with learning disabilities are in paid work in England?
That's a stat that Becky and the collective sets out to address and Becky draws upon her experience as a brewer, landlord, lecturer and parent carer.
CMIC are doing amazing work, establishing a training brewery for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism. They're collaborating with local breweries and hospitality businesses as well as building a brewery at the Castle Tap where we recorded this episode.
All this to improve awareness and understanding and create new opportunities and career paths.
Have a listen as we chat with one of the beer people and - if you can - please follow, support and find out more about CMIC at CMIC.UK
