Shaw Trust

Shaw Trust is a national charity that provides training and work opportunities for people who are disadvantaged in the labour market due to disability, ill health or other social circumstances.

Shaw Trust supports thousands of disabled and disadvantaged people across the UK to achieve their personal development and employment aims. They do this through:

Government-funded employment services to support people moving from benefits to work, with guidance on finding jobs, training and benefits
Pre-employment activities in a supportive environment
Work related, accredited training
Support for increased independence for disabled people
Creating jobs through social enterprise
Working in partnership with employers, local authorities and health trusts

Shaw Trust also helps support people who are in receipt of Direct Payments. Direct Payments is money given from your local council to people aged over 16 or over, who have been assessed as needing a community care service. Instead of getting services organised by Social Services you can arrange your own care and you can use this money to employ your own staff.
Shaw Trust gives information so that you can decide if Direct Payments is right for you
