The Buzz - Nelson

The Buzz is a work skills programmme established in 2021 by a group of local parents. The families recognized that their young people with learning differences, faced many barriers when making the transition from school into the community.

Vision
All young people have opportunities to develop work skills and be ‘work ready’, to achieve their goal of purposeful work/employment that matches their unique abilities, and enables a sense of belonging and contribution to their local community.

Mission
The Buzz supports young people with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), aged 16 – 30 years, prepare for work by providing skills based programmes and community networking opportunities.
