Shaw Trust supports thousands of disabled and disadvantaged people turn their lives around every single year.

Imagine wanting to work but being told you are not capable of doing what other people do, by someone who hasn’t even met you.

Imagine being asked ‘what do you do?’ and having nothing to say because no one has ever believed you could achieve something with your life.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the UK are excluded, isolated, unsupported and disregarded every single day.

People who have a disability or mental health condition, people who are bringing up children on their own, or are overcoming drug and alcohol misuse issues, people leaving prison or care, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people who live down your street, in your neighbourhood….

We believe having a job means moving from a place of exclusion to inclusion, from poverty of choice and lack of control to independence and stability. Having a job means a chance to turn your life around.

Our vision is of a society where every disabled and disadvantaged person has the opportunity to work. There is a long way to go to realising this vision but with your help we can get a little bit closer every day.

On behalf of the thousands of people your money will support, Thank You!
