Lead Partner: Cae Post
Description
Cae Post is a pioneering charity and social enterprise, established in 1986, that provides work experience and training to people with disabilities and others disadvantaged in the job market. Over the last eight years, Cae Post has worked to achieve their goal through recycling projects. In partnership with Powys County Council they now run a commercial scale, recycling centre near Welshpool employing 23 people. They work closely with the schools and communities in Powys and beyond to spread the message of social inclusion and sustainability. The management at Cae Post recognise the power of community engagement, both in supporting environmental sustainability as well as developing opportunities for people with special needs.
Cae Post has a Chief Executive from a mainstream business background, who is able to impose rigorous financial disciplines. The Business Development Manager is constantly looking for new sources of recyclable materials or for new avenues for the sale and reprocessing of sorted materials. Cae Post invests heavily in training at all levels, providing management training as well as basic skills such as literacy and numeracy. They promote the work place as a learning environment and use new ICT technology to share information about recycling with the wider rural community.
