ABOUT US

The impact of not having access to employment and training can be debilitating. Unemployment is a major reason for poverty and poverty is the major cause of housing stress and homelessness.

As a leading social enterprise, Enable's vision is a socially, environmentally and economically connected community without disadvantage.

Mission

To tackle disadvantage and the digital divide by connecting community, environment and local economies.
