  1. About us
  2. What we do

What we do

At bemix we believe you should be seen, be heard and belong. People with learning difficulties and/or autism do not always have the same opportunities to be fully involved in our society. We want to change that. We run projects which support people to learn skills, gain qualifications and become more confident and independent. We also work together with employers, businesses and services to make sure what they do is inclusive.

Click on the picture at the top of the page to watch a short film about what we do. Or click on one of the links below to find out more about the project.
