Our programmes of activity

RESTART Scheme

The Restart Scheme with DWP & G4S provides intensive support designed to help people into sustained work, initially targeting people who have spent between 12 & 18 months claiming Universal Credit. The scheme lasts for 365 days.

Qualifications and Learning

R2W offers a number of different options for young people to develop & learn skills all of which are designed to help with finding and maintaining employment as well as supporting independence.

Social enterprise work experience

Many potential job seekers use a number of areas such as traditional day services, some attend job centres or receive support from health & social care agencies.

Supported Internships

A structured programme aimed at 16-24 year olds who have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) and want to move into employment, but need support.

Multiply - basic maths programme

Do you struggle with maths and basic numeracy? We are part of a national programme called Multiply – which aims to make sums simpler! It will help you with getting a job, in your daily life and just make you more confident with numbers.

Working with Employers

We work with a number of local businesses who have committed to actions that will create opportunities for disabled people who wish to work and improve their lives.
