Did you see the big news? Last week the Patchwork Hub team were delighted to be named Best Small Employer at the Shaw Trust's Disability Power 100 ??

Celebrating the 100 most influential disabled people and organisations in the UK for 2024, we are honoured to be named among such a prestigious list of disabled leaders, trailblazers and change makers. In an incredibly competitive field, the award recognised our work across organisations to break down barriers for disabled people in the workplace.

Equally exciting, our Founder and CEO, Beth Kume-Holland, was also recognised for her contribution to business, entrepreneurship and policy with recognition in the Cross-Sector Advocate category.

As we continue our drive to create a more inclusive future of work, we’d like to send a huge thank you to everyone in our community who has supported, and continues to support our journey and vision. Your encouragement fuels our mission to make the workplace a more inclusive place for all, and we look forward to building on this momentum together.

Here’s to driving change and championing disability inclusion together ??
