The Administration Unit provides many varied tasks from the very simple to those that are more complicated.

Members and staff of the Unit are involved in Reception duties, general typing, entering statistical information onto a PC database, using SAGE Line 50 accountancy, and other financial tasks. Additional  jobs include filing, stationery, mail outs, designing Reachout cards, compiling information packs, general PC maintenance and much more besides.

The Unit is also responsible for producing and editing a monthly newsletter, the Flourish Times - members and staff can contribute in many ways to this publication, including articles, research, creative writing, reviews, quizzes etc.  The Flourish Times is produced primarily for members.  However, it also has a vast readership around the world, with 130+ copies being posted to external organizations/individuals.

The Adminstration Unit provides a fun and friendly working atmosphere which promotes independence while building positive working relationships.

Members don't need any prior Admin knowledge - learning and experience is gained by working alongside Unit colleagues (staff and members), at a pace that suits them.  We encourage peer support from experienced members to help newer members settle in and this has proven to be most successful. 

The work that is carried out in the Admin Unit can provide a good grounding if members are considering returning to education.   It can also provide essential skills for those wishing to progress onto Transitional Employment Placements, Supported Employment, and if desired, independent employment.
