Safeguarding a microenterprise for the future

In this episode, Helen Neale, Project Lead for the Discover Micro Enterprise project at the Community Living Project in South Australia, makes the case that a micro enterprise isn't just employment – it's one of our most powerful safeguards for people with disability.Drawing on her experience as Tom's mother – whose lawn business, Ground Control by Major Tom, has run for seven and a half years – Helen explains why micro enterprise works and how to protect it. The centrepiece is the Enterprise Management Group: a small team of trusted people who share responsibility for sustaining and growing the business, so its future doesn't rest on any one person.You can watch Helen's presentation on our website.Click here to read the transcript of this episode.
