Hide AdDisability Action Yorkshire chief executive Jackie Snape said: “Our key aim is to help disabled young people lead independent lives, and an important element of this is for them to gain paid employment.
“I’m delighted to say both Louise and Alastair have now got part-time employment, and, more importantly, these jobs pay more than the minimum wage!
“Louise and Alastair richly deserve these opportunities and I hope other organisations will consider giving disabled people the chance of paid employment.”
