OUR WHY

Founded in November 2017, 121 Inc. was born out of a desire to create transformative social change, deepen the quality of life, and support meaningful participation for people living with disability and mental illness in WA.

A key focus area for 121 Inc. is supporting the establishment or ongoing development of microenterprises; small scale businesses that are created around a hobby or an interest.

Microenterprise is a space that can work towards breaking down barriers to employment for people living with disability, and to championing against the beliefs of those around them that think people with a disability cannot be successful at working, particularly those with significant communication barriers.

We aim to broaden our philanthropic efforts by supporting other community influence activities, groups and organisations that align with our mission.
