Job Description

Social inclusion through enterprise — for people the system has overlooked

We help people realise their potential by “packaging it” in ways that make its value more obvious. Whether people start their own work, sell their skills in the gig economy, or gain employment — we help them get there more focused, more confident, and more capable.

FROM A PARTICIPANT

“Prison robbed my confidence and this helped me restore it. It enabled me to dream again and believe in myself.”

Our Mission

Working for Yourself as an Act of Empowerment

Teaching “what to do” achieves little unless people become proficient at “how to do it.” We don’t just teach skills — we help people remove the label, find the hidden gem in themselves, and build the confidence to keep going until the gremlins of the past are banished.

🏷️ Removing the Label

Often people find themselves defined by their past and unable to escape it. We help them re-author themselves to be the people they aspire to be.

💎 Finding the Hidden Gem

Most of our clients have amazing talents simply not valued by conventional employers. We help make that value obvious.

🔓 Building Confidence

Small successes build the confidence to keep going — until the gremlins of the past are banished for good.

“Rather than throwing me out as a no hoper, they showed me how to tweak my original idea and mould it around my current circumstances. This is innovation in action.”

NAOMI

“The main benefits came from doing assignments we set for ourselves and receiving individual feedback. The group became a cohesive unit.”
