Shaw Trust
Shaw Trust is a charitable organisation in the United Kingdom which supports people with complex needs into good work. It was founded in the village of Shaw in Wiltshire in 1982.
Shaw Trust surpluses are reinvested through its charitable Shaw Trust Foundation into programmes to improve prospects for individuals and communities.
In 2017, Shaw Trust acquired Ixion and Prospects, making it the 14th largest charity in the UK. It has 3,000 employees supported by 850 volunteers, and delivers contracts for major funding agencies including the European Social Fund, Department for Work and Pensions, Big Lottery Fund, Education and Skills Funding Agency, Department for Education, Ministry of Justice and local government and employers.[citation needed]
Since 2019, the CEO has been Chris Luck.
The Trust delivers both mainstream (Work Programme) and specialist (Work Choice) employment support schemes across Britain. The charity helps people gain skills and find work via a wide range of activities including education and skills contracts, 49 shops and a national volunteering programme as well as health and social enterprise projects.
Shaw Trust helps people gain qualifications through specialised programmes, and helps people seeking work through support in job search skills, interview practice and practical help to enter employment.
Shaw Trust is also an approved sponsor for academies through the Shaw Education Trust.
Shaw Trust runs a range of enterprises and projects – many of which are open to the public – across sectors including catering, recycling and horticulture. These initiatives are firmly embedded in the local communities and provide clients with a broad range of learning and skills development as well as employment opportunities.
