Who We Help

We support people with learning disabilities, autism or both in East Sussex and the surrounding areas, to build confidence, develop skills and move towards meaningful paid employment – while working closely with families, employers, volunteers and supporters to create lasting opportunities. 

Who We Support

Employers

We work with employers to create inclusive workplaces and open up meaningful employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities, autism or both.

From work experience and Supported Apprenticeships to recruitment and ongoing workplace support, we help businesses build confident, diverse teams while making a real social impact.

Trainees

We support young people and adults with learning disabilities, autism or both to develop confidence, independence and employability skills through personalised programmes, real workplace experience and supported employment pathways.

Every person’s journey is different, and we focus on helping individuals achieve goals that are meaningful to them.

Families & Carers

We understand how important the right support and opportunities are for families and carers.

Our team works closely with parents, carers and professionals to provide clear communication, personalised support and positive pathways towards greater independence, confidence and employment.

Volunteers

Volunteers play an important role across Little Gate, supporting our programmes, events, fundraising and day-to-day activities.

Whether sharing skills, supporting learners or helping at community events, volunteers help create opportunities that make a lasting difference.

Supporters

From fundraising and donations to partnerships and community support, our supporters help change lives.

Every contribution helps us continue creating opportunities for people with learning disabilities, autism or both, to thrive, gain independence and move towards paid employment.
