What does EnviroAbility do?

EnviroAbility was established as a charity and not-for-profit company in 1999. Based in Ross-on-Wye, in Herefordshire, It’s been carrying out its work in various guises since 1993 when a local community recycling group was set up that provided employment for people with learning disabilities and associated that employment with a great cause – a powerful initiative to protect the environment. It was a great success. Our team of workers were given valued, productive roles in the community, we challenged negative perceptions, and so we began to positively change how a whole community feels about and interacts with disadvantaged groups and how these disadvantaged individuals feel about themselves.
This crucial work has continued and expanded. Our primary aims are to set up, develop, manage and promote projects that integrate people with learning disabilities and physical disabilities, the long term unemployed, and people with mental health or addiction issues, and that benefit the community and the environment. We provide people from these disadvantaged groups with real work opportunities and experiences that are both valuable and visible to the larger community, ensuring that we offer services that local people want and that otherwise would not be available. And so, individuals and groups often marginalised have become accepted and integrated with their skills and self-esteem transformed. Rather than simply focusing on ‘what’ we do, we put a great deal of energy into the ‘way’ or ‘how’ we do it. Developing projects for the community and environment, allowing abilities and ideas to grow – that’s what we do!
