Hertfordshire PASS celebrated its 10th birthday on Thursday evening at an event held at the charity’s office in Welwyn Garden City. The event, which was hosted by Neville Reyner CBE DL, the President and Chairman of the British Chambers of Commerce and the Chairman of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce, was attended by representatives of local businesses, councils and disability organisations.
“ The birthday event went fantastically well.”
“It was brilliant to see so many people turn out to support us.”
“I hope the 10 PASS Ten Challenge will give employers an insight into disabilities and will encourage them to employ disabled people.” “Employers will see that having a disability doesn’t stop you from doing a good job.”
St Albans resident Ed Magee, 21, who has a mild learning disability, recently started working for the charity as a Marketing Apprentice.
“This is my first job that I have enjoyed,” said Ed. “The best thing about being an apprentice is learning about the different job roles you can do within an organisation.”
