BAYSIDE LETTERBOX DELIVERIES - A CERTIFIED SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
It has always been an important part of our ethos at BLB to support those that are quite often overlooked in our society. For 25 years we have given not just jobs but opportunities to the disadvantaged, either physically, mentally, socially or the ageing unemployed. And now we have been granted certification which supports and promotes our ongoing commitment.
Creating jobs for some of the most vulnerable people in the community means we can play a critical role in the recovery from the coronavirus outbreak. Many are feeling disconnected yet being part of a team within an organisation that is concerned for their mental and physical well being will pay more than just a wage. I will give them a purpose which a number of us have been lacking during this uncertain time.
BLB is proud to be part of a growing sector that supports the most vulnerable which employs an estimated 60,000 people in Victoria alone, many from disadvantaged communities.
The impact of a vulnerable person falling out of the workforce is much more significant than the impact on someone who isn’t already disadvantaged whereby fear and anxiety is exacerbated by existing limited opportunities.
They are much more likely to remain unemployed for longer, they will lead a subsistence existence without financial reserves to draw on and they will be much more likely to have reduced life expectancy.
Engaging the services of social enterprises is now more important than ever.
Like many other social enterprise businesses, we are here to show that you can have a thriving business and support the community. It’s a win/win.
