Only A Pavement Away’s purpose is to provide pathways out of homelessness and crime into purposeful employment within the hospitality industry. Over the next six years, it is estimated that there will be around 1.3 million vacancies in the hospitality industry. At the same time, the number of people who are facing or are at risk of becoming homeless, is rising.
Outside of the moral benefits, the project is underpinned by a strong commercial and financial benefit to the hospitality, pub & restaurant industry whilst reducing the ever-increasing strain on government funding required for those who find themselves in such extreme and vulnerable circumstances.
Since launching in October 2018, we have laid a solid foundation to becoming recognised as the go to charity for the employment of those facing homelessness, prison leavers and vulnerable veterans into careers within the hospitality industry and forging connections in some of the key major cities across the country. We have over 113 hospitality businesses signed up to the programme alongside 199 charities all of whom have work ready candidates.
To date Only A Pavement Away has placed and supported over 360 candidates back into work adding an estimated c.£9.4million to the economy.
