TIM Farron praised Kendal-based social enterprise Right2Work during an Early Day Motion in Parliament.
The Westmorland and Lonsdale MP congratulated the team for helping 27 disadvantaged and disabled people "into the world of work" in 2017.
Right2Work has a second-hand furniture warehouse at Kendal's Mintsfeet estate and is part of the Oaklea Trust.
Mr Farron urged the Government to "work proactively with businesses to recruit more disadvantaged people and people with disabilities".
