Work for all

Volunteering, particularly for those without a recent work history or recovering from illness, is an excellent way of preparing for paid work and for making a great addition to a CV.

Providing short-term work experience for unemployed people is part of our provision for those in need and as a charity we do not make a profit from delivering employment contracts, but use all our income to support people in need.

We believe and have seen that offering a hand up and not a hand out is the best way of addressing poverty and social exclusion. Work and having something meaningful to do helps people not just to become less dependent on the state but encourages self belief and self confidence

A current client says of their work experience: 'It’s great, it’s enabling me to improve my skills and look at other avenues. It’s making me smile again.'
