Action
Social housing provider Clarion Housing Group works with charities, social enterprises and businesses to provide employment support and apprenticeship opportunities to its young residents through its charitable foundation, Clarion Futures.
It provides support for 360,000 residents, many of whom live in the top 20 per cent of income-deprived neighbourhoods.
Each year, its charitable arm invests £15m into helping residents to secure training and employment opportunities, manage their money and improve their digital skills. It also awards grants to local community groups and charities, supporting projects that benefit all age groups.
Clarion Futures’ employment advisors collaborate with over 50 employers, such as the NHS, Morrisons, Royal Mail, Primark and Pret A Manger, to provide apprenticeships in business administration, customer services, retail, health and leisure. The organisation also uses its buying power to leverage social value from its supply chain, encouraging contractors such as Equans, United Living and Wates to offer apprenticeships.
