WHAT WE DO 

Motivation + Skills + Opportunity

We provide professional case managed support, training and skills delivered in the community. Focused on the individual, their potential, and their unique circumstances, we inspire self-belief to overcome daily challenges.

Our clients come to us through many different routes, they may have been referred by another agency – such as a health care professional, Job Centre Plus or probation services – others refer themselves knowing that we can have a positive impact on their life. Working together with our clients every step of the way, we are responsive, making contact within 48 hours of referral to enable people to get their life on track from the very first meeting.

Employability Support: Our specialist employment team provide support with everything from job searching and interview techniques, to writing CVs and job application forms that will win the attention of an employer. With you every step of the way, our team have an enviable record of achieving sustained employment for our clients

 Education & Training: Delivered both in-house and via our network of verified training partners, we offer a range of fully funded and commercial courses to suit individual needs. Our list of courses is updated regularly to meet the increasing demands of our clients. For further information on the range of courses available or to apply please contact us.

 Wellbeing Support: We enable clients to decide the best way forward, supporting with emotional, mental health, disability and physical health related issues. We know each person’s wellbeing affects them in different ways – so our support is flexible and tailored to offer practical support, information and links to additional services.

 

Housing Support: We work alongside a wide variety of partners and organisations to support our clients to find stable housing that meets their needs, and provides a base from which they can start to positively move on with their lives.

 

Finances: Addressing debt and supporting individuals to manage their personal finances, is an important part of the services that we provide for our clients. Whatever the circumstances, we work with a wide range of agencies to ensure that these issues are resolved, enabling clients to positively move on.

Drugs & Alcohol Support: Our approach to supporting clients to resolve or manage an addiction is to address it in the context of the person, rather than dealing with it separately. We support clients to overcome these barriers to success by providing a single support package designed for that individual.

Family Support: We know the experiences of one family member can have an impact on the entire family – that’s why we offer support with all the family in mind, actively encouraging (where appropriate) partners or immediate family members to join clients when we visit them in their homes or communities.

Self-Employment Support: Whether it’s a new venture alongside existing commitments, or you are ready to go it alone full-time, if our client dreams of starting a business, we’re behind them every step of the way with our enterprise support.
