About This Cause
Born out of Greater Manchester, but now operating on a national scale, ANTZ Junction concentrate on deprived and disaffected communities, helping individuals furthest away from employment and society. ANTZ Junction works with but not exclusively – NEETS, Adults with learning disabilities, people who are coming through or have been through the prison service, people with physical and hidden disabilities, and people with mental health issues. We empower individuals to identify and overcome their skill shortages and barriers to employment, as well increase community engagement. We also provide employer engagement and work experience, improving opportunities and pathways to support and employment.This isn’t just about them providing work experience, we give them the tools and support they need to make each job placement a success. While impacting the lives of those from hard to reach communities is paramount, we do not ignore the impact our projects have on the lives of the business employees that take part. We are proud to acknowledge that people from all walks of life have their own stories and challenges and through our projects we aim to support them all. On the next pages we have given an example of two of the projects we have worked on and developed over the past 5 years, that are continuing into 2020 and beyond. Since 2012 ANTZ Junction has impacted the lives of >100 individuals, helping them feel part of their local community, integrate better into society and be in a better position to gain employment. Our person centred approach means the individual always comes first, however at ANTZ Junction we also believe that better engagement with business and the private sector, understanding their goals objectives,, helping change the culture within their organisation, will mean a more sustainable and long lasting engagement. ANTZ Junction supports business, enabling the business to make different decisions around where they spend money, who they recruit etc. Most importantly it helps these businesses engage a local level to have impact in communities they would ordinarily not be able to reach.
