Our mission is to:
Deliver services for people at disadvantage so they can gain life and employability skills in order to live more independently, secure sustainable employment and actively contribute to family and community life.
To educate and influence society to remove barriers and create opportunities for those at disadvantage; to build supportive communities and ultimately, a more inclusive society.
Shaw Trust is a national charity that helps people facing disadvantage to find work, gain skills and take control of their futures.
We deliver employment support schemes across Britain and help over 50,000 people per year. We also help people gain skills and move into work via a wide range of other activities including education and skills projects, approximately 50 shops and health and social enterprise projects.
