Be part of shaping a better, more inclusive future for business support in Tees Valley 🤝

We’re inviting business leaders and founders with lived experience of disability, neurodivergence and long-term conditions to take part in a workshop where we’ll share our new approach to business support across Tees Valley.

The two-hour workshop will be a chance to:

✅ Learn about our proposed new business support system
✅ Share your experiences and perspectives
✅ Help identify barriers that businesses and entrepreneurs may face
✅ Contribute ideas to make services more accessible and inclusive

Your insight is vital in helping us understand what will work, what doesn’t, and what needs to change.

The workshop will be led by Sara Murray, Training and Research Manager at Bendrigg Trust, a charity which helps organisations become more inclusive and accessible.
