About us
(Formerly Skillnet Group CIC) We are people with and without learning difficulties and/or autism, working and learning together. Whether it’s to be seen working, be heard campaigning or belong to a friendly group of people, people achieve their goals with bemix. We live and work in Kent. Most of our work is in Canterbury, Dover, Thanet, Sittingbourne and Medway but we do offer some support in other areas. We support people with learning difficulties and/or autism to speak up, make choices and become powerful and influential. We support them to gain opportunities and become more independent in learning, housing, work, health, money, travel, leisure and relationships. We support people to hear, respect and empower people with learning difficulties and/or autism. We promote positive action to challenge negative attitudes about disability. We work with local communities so that people with learning difficulties and/or autism become fully included and no longer segregated.
