Works 4 You Ltd: A Social Enterprise Works 4 You was
established as a limited company and became a Social Enterprise in
March 2006. The Social Enterprise received funding from the European
Regional Development Fund and the North West Development Agency to
develop the company.
We are governed by a
Board of volunteer community Directors who give their time and
energies to support the company. Any profit generated by the company
is gifted to the charity Home to Work Ltd. This charity aims to
use these profits along with other grant funding to deliver initial
engagement programmes that encourage individuals from the local
community to engage with work, volunteering and training.
Works 4 You offers
apprenticeship opportunities annually to give young people the
opportunity to gain a professional qualification and provide vital
work experience on live projects.
Our apprentices may go
on to work for us on other projects, set up their own gardening
business or find employment with other companies.
We work with our
customers to deliver the best packaged offer we can. Contracts range
from one off work to short, medium and long term contracts.
