Nickel Support

Met with Harriet Hastings

Nickel Support works with adults with learning disabilities to run commercial enterprises, giving them more employment skills, helping them socialise and making them feel like valued members of the community.

Nickel’s vision is to have people with learning disabilities standing side by side with their peers and viewed as equals.

The team at Nickel Support have over 20 years of experience working in the field and are passionate about being influential change makers in this space.

‘Harriet’s knowledge and expertise was fantastic and I learnt a lot in the time we had. She gave me some wonderful tangible ideas to help the ongoing development of the strategy within my organisation’
