Only A Pavement Aways purpose is to provide pathways out of homelessness and crime into purposeful employment within the hospitality industry. Over the next six years it is estimated that there will be around 1.3million vacancies in the hospitality industry. At the same time, the number of people who are facing or are at risk of becoming homeless, is rising. Since launching in October 2018, we have laid a solid foundation to becoming recognised as the go to charity for the employment of those facing homelessness, prison leavers and vulnerable veterans into careers within the hospitality industry and forging connections in some of the key major cities across the country. To date we have supported almost 27 0 candidates back into work saving the local & central government an estimated c.£5million*. We will be aiming to support a further 200 people into work in 2023.
