Neurodiverse and care experienced businesses and start-ups are invited to an inclusive Christmas Exhibition in Hull’s Guildhall next month.
The Making Changes for Careers (MC4C) team at Hull City Council are hosting the event and will create an environment tailored to the neurodiverse. Having received neurodiversity training from Rob Edwards from the Neurodiversity and Entrepreneurship Association, the team will make the exhibition low noise and open spaced and many other adjustments so exhibitors and visitors don’t feel too overwhelmed.
Businesses confirmed for the Making Changes for Careers Christmas Exhibition are; Happy Dragon Writing and Illustrations, Cone Queen Bakery, E3DM, Coco’s Creations, Donche Designs, Blue Ceramics by Ganton, Jessys Jewellery, Host With the Most, Special Stars Foundation, Caits Witchy Creations & Ward Wax
Also attending will be representatives from Room 42, a care leavers’ hub based at the Guildhall which helps businesses to develop opportunities for young people to learn more about education, training and employment.
Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, council portfolio holder for regeneration, said:
“The MC4C team do a great job in putting inclusive entrepreneurship at the top of their agenda, so everyone can succeed.”
“Next month’s event is another example of that, where neurodiverse and care experienced businesses and start-ups can showcase what they do in a space that is safe and comfortable for them.”
Rob Edwards said:
“It’s been great working with the enterprise support teams at the council to help them understand how some barriers may block neurodivergent business owners.
“It’s brilliant to see Hull are leading the way with their support programmes where everyone can succeed and we are chuffed to be a partner of the Neurodiversity & Entrepreneurship Association.”
Friday 13 December 11:30am-3:30pm C1 Guildhall. Tea and coffee will be provided.
