Additional Information

I am trying to set up as a self employed, full time jewellery designer and maker. I need help to get my brand out there, recognised and selling. There are 2 reasons why this has to happen. This cause is only partially about helping me... I will explain... I suffer from Fibromyalgia syndrome and my current employment is impacting severely on my condition, chronic fatigue and pain is not only a nightmare to work with, but is putting my employment at risk. I wish to become fully self sufficient, doing something I am passionate about, from home, where I can rest and recover as much as is possible. My jewellery, with the right support and marketing/promotion, will sell and ensure I can be self sufficient, remain in my home, doing what I love. 2.... This is the most important part of the cause, for me. See I have been working with people who have mental health illness and learning disabilities for the last 15 years. I don't want to stop helping and supporting vulnerable and disabled people. With your help in getting me self suffifient, I aim to then employ people with disabilities to make, market, and sell their own crafts. I also plan to educate people in community settings to use their own creativity to inspire their hope and revovery. I don't have a business plan for this yet, but I will! It's the overall aim.
