Mission Statement

About This Cause
Established in 1998 Action West London is both a registered charity and social enterprise. Our Mission is to change lives through providing opportunities for Employment, Education,Training and Enterprise for disadvantaged, unemployed young people and adults. We have helped 1,000's of individuals overcome their difficulties and improve their lives. We work in partnership with Employers from SME's and large companies, Job Centres, local authorities and community groups. AWL has been changing lives for over 22 years . Your support during these exceptionally difficult times will help us continue for many more! Action West London (AWL) is an innovative, respected charity which empowers disadvantaged young people and adults to change their lives. We do this by opening up opportunities for Employment, Education and Enterprise. We provide a holistic, personal service to people facing barriers to employment and education. An AWL Employment Advisor tailors individual ActionPlans. We help with CVs, job search, applications, and interview skills. We provide training in social skills, IT, English language, and communication. We help motivate people and give them confidence. We also help with travel and interview clothes. We work with local and national employers and provide ‘in work’ support. Example 1: Lionel aged 18, several years unemployed with educational barriers: ‘’It’s good; you give people opportunity to move onto better things. I’m happy I signed up to the program; I never thought I could be this person I am today. You’ve given me confidence and more positive attitude on life. I now have experience and a better future ahead of me”. Example 2: Susan: ‘’I was previously living in a hostel and had family issues. I was not in a good place before I came to AWL. I felt I had no direction. Since being here I have managed to secure a contract from a company . I am now happy since I’ve made a huge change. Big thanks to AWL for helping me turn my life around. '' Example 3: Beverley , unemployed for 15 years , facing numerous difficulties and lacked confidence and skills required for today’s job market. AWL‘s supporthelped her get employment as a care co-ordinator. AWL runs over 12 projects a year—including even a Street Market –helping over 1000 disadvantaged people. We’re very proud of the positive changes our work has had on people and communities. We want to help even more people. Raising funds and resources to support Action West London’s work –like all charities AWL faces severe challenges to secure resources. We seek support to continue into the future. Companies can help through donations, sponsorship , fundraising activities, equipment, ‘in kind’ donations, office space and using our Action Talent recruitment agency. YOU can help AWL change disadvantaged peoples’ lives! THANK YOU Dr John Blackmore (Chief Executive) .
