Ben-with-borders

Meet Ben – our very first client.

Ben wanted to work, but barriers (from his disability) stood in his way. With our support, Ben was able to achieve his dream of working, and since then we’ve helped 2,707 people follow Ben’s path towards greater independence.

Now all of us here at Quality Connections are riding together on Ben’s Bus – all aboard!

Ben's Bus – Destination:
Greater Independence
