the azure charitable foundation
Activities & Mission
Azure operates Supported Businesses to provide salaried jobs and training for disabled people. It assists individuals in supported employment in organisations across the region. Personal development whether or not linked to qualifications or job outcomes is a key goal. We are committed to enabling disabled people to live as independently as possible. Community access support is also provided.
