We have had five OAPA employees so far, and I am proud to say our managers have embraced the initiative and are keen to get involved, offering an opportunity to those in need.
Though collaborative working, OAPA has opened up a range of roles within the hospitality sector which provide homeless members the opportunity to go back into work and take a step forward in ending their homelessness.
The Corbett Network comprises 45 rehabilitation charities with the same aim of providing jobs for ex-offenders. Only A Pavement Away goes further by concentrating on the homeless and former veterans as well as ex-offenders.
