Cope Foundation in jobs drive for clients

Disability support group, The Cope Foundation, has launched its first campaign to find long-term sustainable jobs for people with intellectual disabilities.

The charity’s chief executive, Colette Kelleher, appealed to employers last night to “open their doors, their hearts, and their minds” to people with an intellectual disability by getting involved in its ‘Grand Job’ initiative.

“We are asking the business community of Cork to stand with us in delivering paid jobs that will create truly inclusive workplaces,” she said.
