About Proper Job

By doing so, it also demonstrates to the world the level of change that’s possible to effect from a grassroots level.

The third arm is a trading subsidiary: a community wholefood shop and café, the Courtyard. All three arms deliver educational outreach work in line with Proper Job’s charitable objectives. As such, they address the way we live in the world and the value we place on its resources, and seek to define a better, healthier future for people and planet.
