Joels Success @ Cedar with Workable (NI)

Joel has been working with our team through the Workable (NI) programme here at Cedar and has had a fantastic experience which we’re delighted to share.

“I have been working with Danni, my Employment Support Officer from Cedar’s Workable (NI) programme, to support me in my current work role to find the independence that a young adult with a disability needs.

I would recommend this service to anyone”

Joel share that the staff have been a huge support and they “will meet you wherever you stand, one on one to grasp a better understanding of your work and your relationship with it ... they are also very easy to talk to, patient and empathetic”

Employment Support Officer Danni Convery was able to support Joel throughout changes in employer and assisted in “day-to-day goals and struggles. Danni and Cedar’s Workable (NI) programme hold professional standards; they are also very easy to talk to, patient and empathetic”

Joel also highlights that here at Cedar, we offer a wide variety of services for people with a disability; “For anyone with a disability of any kind, who is struggling to find work. For anyone who is in work and is struggling because of their disability in terms of work or lack of communication with employers. And lastly, but most importantly, for anyone who is struggling with a disability in general. They should highly consider The Cedar Foundation”

Workable (NI) is available across Northern Ireland and is designed to help you in employment and can help if you are at risk of losing your job as a result of disability or a health condition. You can access the Workable (NI) programme if you wish to work, or are working more than 10 hours per week.

Workable (NI) is available to you if you're aged over 16 with a disability or other health conditions and you want to progress into or stay in employment.

Engaging in a fun social night at the Cedar Office, young people on the Transitions programme from across the Belfast and Southeastern Trusts got together to compete in a fun quiz night. The teams completed 10 rounds to battle for first place. Team Slay did exactly that by winning with an impressive 87 points, followed closely by Team Cedar with 79 points. Well done everyone!

Sinead became homeless and had to move back in with her mum temporarily. During a stay in Musgrave Park Hospital, a social worker referred Sinead to Cedars’ Floating Support Service.

“My support worker Christine contacted me in April. We worked together on rehousing, looking at maximising my points and understanding the housing process.

This has led to me being rehoused in June, in the perfect home. I am delighted and I now feel settled, safe and secure and feel I can now start and rebuild my future”

Sinead and Cedar Support worker Christine worked together on financial support and the options available. Sinead was able to apply for a grant to help furnish her new home, as well as looking at budgeting and entitlement to further benefits.

“The practical support and help I have received has made all the difference, I could not have done it without Christine”

Our Floating and Housing Support services provide individuals with various forms of assistance and support in their own homes or within their local area. This service is designed to help people, often those with specific needs or vulnerabilities, to maintain their independence, improve their quality of life, and address challenges they may face.

We provide person-focused ‘housing related support’ to individuals with disabilities. Our service helps individuals develop independent living skills, to maintain their tenancy, thereby preventing homelessness. We help empower individuals to become fully integrated into the community where they live.

Our Arrow group in Newry got to practice their artistic skills recently, with an art workshop facilitated by the talented local artist Kate Marron. Working together on their watercolour techniques, each service user created their own rendition of a beautiful sunset scene, using a variety of colours and brushes under the direction and guidance from Kate. Now each participant has their own works of art to take home, a lovely reminder of the fun and informative workshop. Kate made the workshop easy and inclusive of everyones individual needs. Fun and laughter were had by all, and we can’t wait for the next workshop!

ARROW is a service supporting people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) across the Southern Health and Social Care Trust. We provide practical support, develop social skills and connections in their community by attending our local community groups.
