Social Enterprise
By our community, for our community
GRANN’s Social Enterprise is a community-led initiative creating flexible, affirming income pathways for Autistic and Neurodivergent people who are often excluded from traditional employment.
This is not a requirement of membership. It is a separate, opt-in opportunity to participate in ethical, community-centred economic activity aligned with GRANN’s values.
Why the Social Enterprise Exists
Many conventional employment systems are inaccessible by design. GRANN’s Social Enterprise offers an alternative model, one that:
Values lived experience as expertise
Respects fluctuating capacity and access needs
Supports home-based, flexible, and self-directed work
Centres dignity, autonomy, and collective care
This is not charity. It is community economics, done differently.
