Opportunities

We’ve found that the most socially excluded people within society are often barred from that chance to move out of their situation, despite the will to do so.

As part of our mission of empowering people, we recognise that for many, simply being given the chance to prove themselves enables individuals to look forward with hope.

As such we are committed to offering opportunities for our trainees to progress. This varies across our hubs and includes placements in our community cafe, t-shirt printing, craft fairs and our working kitchen. This, coupled with CV updating and advice, means that we are able to support our trainees as they seek to move forward.

Testimonials

I have been able to make a number of referrals to Handcrafted of local individuals who have been out of work for quite some time, and who lack self-confidence and experience. It is a very nurturing environment, which enables people to grow not only in a skill (such as woodwork), but to also grow as individuals.

Handcrafted builds the confidence and self-worth of everyone they engage with, and provide a second to none experience.
