How to contact our team nationally and around the country
We work in 98% of the most deprived areas of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we know that without people in meaningful work, communities cannot function. We are well placed to to reach people who don't engage with traditional providers. Many people in the communities we work with face multiple barriers to employment and some have families where two or three generations have been out of work. Once someone has stopped believing they have any skills to offer, their confidence plummets, making the prospect of a job interview, or even filling out an application form seem impossibly distant. Our employment programmes give people the skills and confidence they need to take the first step back into employment.
We work alongside communities, public bodies, private companies and voluntary sector organisations.
