Shaw Trust is a national charity which supports disabled and disadvantaged people to prepare for work, find jobs and live more independently.
Shaw Trust believes that everyone has the right to work and live independent lives. As a national charity, our work is about empowering people to improve their lives and to believe in their own abilities as passionately as we do.
Every year we help thousands of people who need extra support to achieve their employment and personal development goals.
If you’re claiming benefits, unemployed and want to work, looking for support in work, or want to take control of your daily care, we can help you.
Before you find work:
- pre-work activities which enable people to become more ‘work ready’ and acquire life skills
- personal development to help you decide where you want to be and to equip you with the skills and motivation to get there
- employment programmes to help you move from benefits into employment. We operate a range of employment focussed services including Work Choice and projects funded by European Social Fund.
- Independent Living Services which can help you to make choices about managing your own care.
Working with us, you can be sure of:
- confidential advice
- a programme designed specifically to suit you
- a dedicated Adviser to work with you one-to-one
