Campaign by Story
Shaw Trust is the largest employability charity in England and Wales.
Our vision is a future where good employment is accessible to all in society irrespective of life circumstances. We’re driving change by designing and delivering innovative programmes which support employment and social integration.
Our services cover employability, education, learning and skills, children’s care homes and health and wellbeing support.
We know there are a number of reasons why people can find it more difficult to gain and sustain meaningful employment. Our tailored programmes help people in a range of circumstances with a variety of complex needs, health conditions and disabilities to develop the skills they need to get into work.
Andrea's story
Andrea faced mental health challenges and struggled to juggle job searching with looking after her children. Exploring support options for all aspects of her life reduced stress and increased her focus. With financial help to aid her transition, Andrea soon started a part time job and thrived with an increase in social interaction. She is now ready to transition into full-time employment.
Shaw Trust has changed my life. They helped me a lot, making me feel better about myself and helping me deal with my anxiety and depression. They showed me how to make a good CV, find jobs, and sort out childcare, which made things much easier. Thanks to Shaw Trust, I feel ready to keep going in my career and face new challenges, both in work and in my life.
We want to do more. Exploring new and better ways of improving health and wellbeing, working with people and employers to get more people good work, and helping more young people to realise their potential.
Your contributions allow our Foundation to invest in and deliver programmes that change lives for people like Andrea.
