Welcome

Able2Print is a commercial printing project that enables disabled adults to experience a real work environment. We provide a full printing service for the Percy Hedley Foundation itself and have regular returning external customers.

The print unit comprises a seperate office and reception area with fully equipped Desk Top Publishing suite leading to the pre-press, printing, finishing and warehousing areas. We also have an integrated kitchen and dining area for those well earned breaks.

Able2Print aims to provide training and personal development within a stimulating, supportive, friendly but active printing works environment.

Our Able2Print Project Workers have the opportunity to be involved in the entire printing process. This includes reception duties, planning and design, a variety of printing and finishing techniques, quality control, pricing and health and safety awareness.
