Endeavour Foundation Calls On Local Businesses To Support Workers

Ayr’s Endeavour Foundation Business Solutions site will close its doors on 30 September 2025 after more than five decades of operation, leaving a team of highly skilled workers with disability facing unemployment.

The organisation, which has served the Ayr and Home Hill communities since 1972, has faced ongoing financial challenges under the NDIS and is now calling on local businesses to help identify employment opportunities for its workforce.

“By calling on our community, our aim is to help identify jobs for people with a disability here in Ayr,” said Acting Executive General Manager of Work, Greg McCluand.

“Although we have actively sought out various business opportunities in recent years, sadly this has come without much traction, and we have struggled.”

The decision to cease operations was not made lightly, with McCluand assuring the community that all possible options were explored.

“We are committed to working closely with our valued employees and will continue to provide them with support,” he said.

The organisation is encouraging any local employers or industry groups who may be able to assist to get in touch.
