Congratulations to our Link2Me Group at Saint John of God Menni Services who are recent winners in the International LinkedIn for Good Innovation Award. The group members are actively looking for employment and entered their Accessible Website project Link2Me for the Award.
Link2me aims to become a "go to site" for all things Supported Employment and empower individuals and job coaches to market their skills to potential employers. This service is open to anyone who wishes to join through our sign up page. Individuals are supported to manage their own content and members' area where they share life skills learning resources through photo and video content.

A new mobile phone app is helping people at Menni Services to travel safely and independently between locations. The idea for the app came originally from Programme Manager Eoin Mooney and Supported Employment Co-Ordinator Des Balmer. It has been brought to its current stage with the support of Sarah Gavra Boland who came to work with us last year as part of the Vodafone World of Difference Competition.
