Action West London (AWL) helps disadvantaged individuals change their lives through Education,Training and Employment. Having a job or being self-employed gives hope and pride to individuals. Barriers to employment may include education, language, culture, criminal record, lack of family support or limited awareness of what is possible. AWL's Mission is to provide as many opportunities as possible for disadvantaged individuals to realise their potential. We welcome your support. Thank you.
