P@W partners
Potential@Work partners work independently and with others to provide targeted support for disadvantaged and marginalised people living in Oxfordshire. We work with people who have mental health issues, refugees and people who have experienced homelessness to access training, volunteering and work experience placements, and paid employment.
Established in 1999, we are a social enterprise with charitable status. We run high quality businesses, providing opportunities for ex-homeless people to gain work experience before Aspire supports them into independent sustained employment. We regularly see individuals change their lives dramatically through work.
We provide high quality and effective homelessness services in Oxford City, including emergency and second stage accommodation, support planning and resettlement, training and education programs, and links to other services.
We aim to relieve distress, improve wellbeing and facilitate the integration of refugees and asylum seekers by providing practical, social and psychological support. Our employment service offers employers access to committed, hard-working employees; and provides training, advice and information about permission to work and overseas qualifications.
A specialist mental health charity, we enable people with mental health problems to recover, get jobs, increase their skills, do more, and change their lives. We support employers to engage with staff with mental health problems. We provide accredited Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training.
