Patchwork Hub provides a specialist consultancy and advisory service, raising awareness around disability and accessibility in the workplace. Alongside our jobs board, we offer services ranging from presentations and workshops to expert consultancy. Through our work, Patchwork Hub helps employers make a tangible impact on disability inclusion and accessibility in both recruitment and work.
Disabled people form the world’s largest minority group, yet are often forgotten in ‘diversity and inclusion’ conversations. 90% of corporations declare they have Diversity and Inclusion Policies in place, but disability is often left out of discussions.
Patchwork Hub's founder, Beth Kume-Holland, has worked with groups across government, the private sector and third sector to help create a more inclusive work culture. From easy-to-implement changes in your recruitment process through to awareness training and fuller accessibility audits, Beth can help you make your workplace the inclusive and accessible place you want it to be.
Beth and the team love to connect with new clients, from a one-off event through to an ongoing business relationship. To discuss how we can help,please email hello@bethkh.com.
