At JERICHO, we run a diverse range of social enterprises and social projects which create positive change in our communities.
Often the people we help just need a caring, supportive employer who will give them a chance to shine in work and in life. In some cases, the people we support have lived experience of homelessness, mental ill health, addiction, disability, modern slavery or the criminal justice system; in other cases they have struggled with the education system, experienced a difficult home life, or have low confidence and self-esteem.

- low self-esteem or confidence
- mental health problems
- victims of human trafficking

We deliver a range of employment and training related programmes, but our core provision is the delivery of supported training, work experience and apprenticeship programmes within our 8 social enterprise businesses.
