CRU - Community Resource Unit Ltd.

CRU - Community Resource Unit Ltd. CRU exists to create & promote positive change so that people with disabilities can belong to & actively contribute to social & economic life.

CRU believes that people with disabilities should belong to and participate in community life. This means their interests are best served when they are supported to grow up in a family, go to school at their local neighbourhood school, participate in community activities with their peers, have a home of their own, maintain strong relationships with friends, parents and siblings, work and participate in community life and have their rights as citizens protected.

All people with disability can work - and it’s time we showed the world what’s possible!

For too long, traditional employment approaches have left too many people shut out or underemployed. But with the right opportunities and customised employment pathways, meaningful work is possible for everyone.

If you are a person with a disability and have an employment story, we’d love to hear from you!

Post a photo in the comments and share a bit about the work you do. These real-life stories help show others what’s possible as they begin their own employment journey.

We’re also creating a short video showcasing the diversity of employment experiences in our community. By sharing your images and stories, we may reach out to ask if you’d like to be included in this.

This video will be featured at our upcoming event:
Discovering Possibility: How Customised Employment Opens Doors

'What will happen in the future when I am no longer here or unable to do what I am currently doing?’ is a question that can keep families of all ages awake at night.

We know that we need to plan for the future, but it is such a daunting prospect, that we often put our heads in the sand and leave it for another day. However, the future starts now and it is never too early to plan as we never know what is around the corner. Better to do the work now and be prepared while you still have the capacity!

This new, practical workshop is designed to motivate and help you to take practical steps towards ensuring a good life will continue in the future.
