About us

Who we are

Aspire is an award-winning, Oxford based employment, recovery and rehabilitation charity and social enterprise, founded in 2001. We create accessible, meaningful and supported work placement, training and employment opportunities for men and women from across Oxfordshire facing complex barriers to work. Aspire harnesses the tenacity and determination that has enabled its volunteers, known as our ‘trainees’, to survive frequently harrowing life experiences such as homelessness, substance misuse, criminality, poor education and social exclusion, and show, through a culture of change and possibility, that personal and professional success is available and achievable. Aspire’s social mission and business model are dynamically re-enforcing: we operate a range of social enterprises delivering professional services in grounds and property maintenance, removals, woodwork and recycling contract and ad hoc services to commercial, public and private customers. These enterprises enable us to provide robust work placement, training and employment opportunities, while generating essential revenue for our charity and promoting a responsible business model. All services are delivered by Aspire trainees under the guidance of staff team leaders, giving trainees ownership of work outputs and quality. Aspire complements this real work experience with dedicated coaching and mentoring support. Aspire also operates four community-based ‘Job Clubs’ to support local residents into volunteering, employment, training and education in some of the most deprived areas of Oxford City: Blackbird Leys, Littlemore & Rose Hill, Wood Farm and Barton.
