Conwy County Borough Council has teamed up with IMPACT (Improving Adult Care Together) to host a “Jobs and Joy” event, aimed at improving inclusive employment opportunities across the county.
Held at Bryn Euryn Nurseries and Café, the event brought together people with lived experience of learning disabilities to share their ideas and experiences. Participants took part in relaxed, accessible activities focused on identifying their strengths, what they enjoy doing, and the barriers they face when seeking work.
Discussions also highlighted what helps people thrive in the workplace and the challenges that can make employment difficult. The insights gathered will play a key role in helping the Council shape job processes that are easier to navigate and more welcoming for everyone.
Councillor Hannah Fleet, Cabinet Member for Integrated Adult Services and HR, said: “We’re committed to becoming a more inclusive employer and opening up access to meaningful, paid opportunities. Events like Jobs and Joy are so valuable – they help us understand people’s experiences and make sure our approach reflects their needs, strengths, and aspirations.”
The event is part of the Council’s ongoing work with IMPACT to strengthen inclusive employment pathways and ensure people with learning disabilities have better access to meaningful work opportunities in Conwy.
