aspiration to embark on their dreams, once again instils a special needs child with purpose and meaning to academically flourish.

work Acer have accomplished with Ealing
Mencap through their on-going partnership. EalingMencap is a local and independent charity working in the London Borough of Ealing to enable children and adults with learning disabilities to achieve their full potential. Every year they raise £2,000,000 to continue providing a wide range of essential services. In addition, Mencap has over the last year introduced the dare to dream initiative; an option to those are looking to increase their levels of independence and consider progressing into paid work. As a result, the ‘dare to dream trainees’ were supported with work placement at Acer once a week. As expected, this latest collaboration has helped the wider community in more ways than one: better employment prospects, new skills attained, and greater support given to those in need.
By working together in partnership, both parties are actively improving the life opportunities of people with learning
disabilities. Central to this is ensuring that people with learning disabilities
develop the skills needed to use and have access to the technology essential to participating in everyday life in the modern world.
