We’ve found that the most socially excluded people within society are often barred from that chance to move out of their situation, despite the will to do so.
Opportunities
As part of our mission of empowering people, we recognise that for many, simply being given the chance to prove themselves enables individuals to look forward with hope.
As such we are committed to offering opportunities for our trainees to progress. This varies across our hubs and includes placements in our social enterprises including:
- Gateshead Community cafe & kitchen - The Shakey
- Chester-le-Street based B2B clothing printing and online shop
- Carpentry commissions in our region-wide workshops
- Annual Christmas craft fairs across all our hubs
This, coupled with our embedded, Matrix-accredited information, advice & guidance, means that we are able to support our trainees as they seek to move forward.
