apex charitable trust
London
Since 1965 Apex has been promoting employment as a route out of offending for
people with a criminal record. Our charity delivers support to help those with
complex, multiple needs to overcome the barriers they face in moving from
dependency on welfare and crime to becoming self-sustaining members of
communities. We have long-standing knowledge of how best to address the impact
of a criminal record through appropriate forms of disclosure and apply this
knowledge to support both job-seekers and employers. We also work with people
over many years to help them develop the skills, attributes and the knowledge
they need to improve employability and secure paid employment. Our work has
helped many people with criminal records to move into further and higher
education, access training or start voluntary work, and secure and sustain paid
employment (including self-employment). We have worked in the Merseyside region
since 1996 offering a tailored service to ex/offenders and those at risk of
offending to move away from a life of crime to employment, training, and
education (ETE) and voluntary work. We work with local adult ex-offenders to
release their full potential and support them to break down the barriers they
face.
