The Facework Group is a Social Enterprise that equips people to face the changing world of work through skills training and by developing affordable and supportive workspaces where communities can learn, share and work together.
We are committed to working with those who are furthest from the labour market and strive to co-design new programmes which enable people to navigate the ever-changing landscape of work with confidence, purpose and agency.
As a Community Interest Company, we know that helping people at the local level to grow their skills and find purposeful work is ultimately what makes communities prosper.
After a decade of pioneering new approaches, we believe there are five core values which are at the heart of our success. We call this our Shared Values Framework.
By ‘work’, we mean any meaningful activity that provides an individual with an active purpose and that enables that individual to earn a living as a result. This may mean ‘employment’ in the traditional sense – being employed by someone else on a full-time basis; or it may mean self-employment; it may encompass a portfolio approach, where working, learning, volunteering etc, are blended; and it may mean work that is socially driven.
Above all we want to help young people to find work and training opportunities which match their skills, their character, values and potential.
