Johnny from Habitat ReStore Belfast joined us to deliver Toolbox Basics training! 🧰✨

Our learners from Skills For Life & Work were the first in USEL to complete this session, gaining practical skills to tackle minor home fixes. From bleeding radiators and unblocking sinks to changing smoke‑alarm batteries and more. ⚒️

The students were fully engaged, asked great questions, and really enjoyed the hands‑on experience.

A great opportunity for our learners to build practical everyday skills. 👏

💯 Barrier Project – #4 Gary

Gary Gates, founder of Neurodiversity SPARK, challenges employers to rethink how they support neurodivergent women returning to work through major life transitions like motherhood and menopause.

The ask is simple, stop focusing on diagnoses and start focusing on what they actually need.

From reviewing outdated policies to having real conversations with staff, small actions can remove massive barriers. This clip, taken from our full interview, captures just one powerful moment where Gary calls for practical, people centred change that employers can act on right now.

Catch the full interview on our YouTube linked below to hear more of Gary’s honest, transformative insights. 🌱🎙️

💯Barrier Project - #4 Gary

Here, Gary Gates founder of Neurodiversity SPARK, reminds us that trust isn’t optional, it’s the foundation.

For neurodivergent individuals engaging with services, and for employees stepping into a workplace, that trust needs to be earned and protected. And when employers actually invest and deliver what they say, it creates a level of loyalty and stability you can’t manufacture.

This clip is only a small part of a much fuller, richer conversation about systems, support, and what needs to change.

Catch the whole interview on our YouTube channel linked below to dive into the lived experiences and insights that shaped this message. 🌟

At USEL, our warehouse is more than a place where furniture moves in and out, it’s a hub of opportunity, growth, and purpose.

Every partnership we build plays a vital role in helping us deliver on our mission: to create sustainable, meaningful employment for people with disabilities and health conditions across Northern Ireland.

Working with supportive partners like Zeus Office strengthens our ability to make a real difference. We’ve assembled over 1,000 items, and we’re looking forward to this continued partnership. Their collaboration enables us to expand our services, scale our impact, and ensure that every individual who steps into our workplace has the chance to develop new skills, gain confidence, and build a pathway to long-term employment.

We set up a mic and asked the learners just one question:

If you could thank one person who would it be and why? 💙

We had the brilliant Billy and Leon from Barclays come in today to spend some time with our guys for a Life Skills session! 🤓 They took them through some really valuable stuff from understanding transferable skills and the world of banking, to breaking down exactly what makes a CV stand out to an employer.

The learners even got a great insight into the different types of transactions, giving them a solid foundation for whatever path they choose next.

A huge thank you to Billy and Leon for giving up their time, it was genuinely appreciated! 💙
