Creating Opportunities for Vulnerable and Socially Excluded People. Empowering through Technology, Encouraging through Opportunity
Our primary objective is to provide a stable job and a supported working environment for vulnerable or marginalised people. This includes work experience for volunteers or placements and the arrangement of vocational or academic training.
Why the community needs us
We work mostly with vulnerable adults or those experiencing significant disadvantage in the jobs market. We instil confidence in our team members and encourage them to grow and develop in a supportive working environment. Our services benefit local businesses, community organisations, other charities and of course individuals.
Our impact on the community
Aspire Sheffield’s impact on the community lies in its unwavering commitment to creating pathways for individuals facing significant challenges in entering the labour market. Through structured, high-quality work experience opportunities, we empower participants to develop essential workplace habits, enhance their collaboration skills, and acquire new competencies in a secure and supportive environment. By providing a space where individuals can transition from long-term unemployment or complete lack of job experience to meaningful mainstream employment, we help them achieve greater independence and self-reliance. Our work not only transforms lives but also strengthens the social fabric of our city, as we collaborate with public and voluntary agencies to support those most in need.
