Developing skills, confidence, social interaction, knowledge and an understanding of the workplace.
About us
Supported Community Business was founded in 1998 by John Coupland and his co-founder Mike Card.
SCB was born out of the desire of John’s daughter, who had additional support needs, to have access to the same working opportunities and experiences as other people her age. She wanted to learn what it was to work, to feel a sense of achievement, earn an income, meet friends, and have a sense of purpose.
Failing to locate such an opportunity, John and his co-founder created SCB in October 1998. To this day, the charity continues to help others achieve their goals and develop their potential.
