Apollo Court in Coalville Open for Business after official Opening

It felt like a step back in time - Friday constituency days opening things! But really pleased to see the completion of Apollo Court in Coalville creating much needed space for local businesses to grow. Thanks to Leicestershire County Council and LLEP for making the funding available. Delighted as Deputy Chair of the LLEP to take part and see what has been achieved. Having started my work life in Economic Development it’s good to see the partnerships locally still helping local business. But so much more to do across our County! hashtag#llep hashtag#business hashtag#economicdevelopment hashtag#sajeimpact Credit Alistair Langham for the photo. Always a great service!

Who Says? - New Campaign Calling Time on Negative Perceptions

A new exciting campaign from Activity Alliance is calling time on negative perceptions about disability, inclusion and sport and asks – who says?

For far too long disabled people have faced misconceptions and presumptions on what is and isn’t possible, including in sport. Leading national charity, Activity Alliance, wants to move the conversations on, open people’s minds and shift out-dated views on disability. Who says? gives positive evidence that replaces these negative ideas.

Launched on 15 July, who says? was created in response to the charity’s recent research, which explored non-disabled people’s attitudes on inclusive activity. The findings show a lack of understanding could be causing long-lasting barriers for disabled people, leading to inactivity. For the least active audience in our country, people’s attitudes can make or break activity experiences.

Celebrating 9 years of Business Growth

It’s a year of celebration and change for Saje Impact as we head towards 2020.

“As we head into our 10th year the work pattern may change a little as I change the emphasis of my work pattern - but the causes will remain the same and Saje Impact will be there to help, mentor, coach, strategise, challenge and help clients think differently. 

“I’d like to thank everybody we have worked with over the last 9 years. “When work is a pleasure life is a joy”
