Why Countryside Enterprises CIC?
Countryside Enterprises CIC is a scheme ran by adults with learning disabilities. They run lots of small enterprises that benefit both those involved and the local community. The enterprises provide an opportunity for adults with learning disabilities to practice work skills, gain experience, and to earn a share of any profits. But most importantly, it’s an opportunity to work in a safe and supported environment.
Current enterprises include a contract gardening service, a car washing service, fruit and vegetable growing, rural crafts, woodwork, a jam and chutney making group, and a cake baking group - these hand made products are all sold in their farm shop, and the amazing cakes are served in their takeaway café - ‘The Coffee Hatch’ at Six Acre Nurseries in Costock.
Since they began in 2016, they have grown year on year with the help of grants and support from our local community, they have expanded the enterprises run and the services they offer. Many of the adults they supported have progressed onto paid work or voluntary placements elsewhere as a result of this.
