A Belfast man has urged others to never give up hope, after he secured a new paid job at his local Mace.
Michael, who has a learning disability, has been supported by Mencap NI throughout his employment journey. And having taken up the role as customer assistant at the South Belfast store, he is enjoying being a member of the team and earning his own money.
The 27-year-old started at Mace initially as a placement in February 2022 but was soon offered a paid role in March 2022 after showing commitment and hard work. He's described this position as "a perfect job".
