What we do
We offer a range of services to give people the opportunity to gain the experience, skills and confidence needed to make positive, lasting change in their lives.
Many of the people Move On work with have low confidence; little or no work experience; poor physical or mental health; experience of care; experience of the criminal justice system; or are in recovery from addiction.
While our services are as diverse as the individuals we support, our aim is simple – to offer everyone an equal chance to reach their full potential, no matter what barriers they face.
Mentoring
We match volunteer mentors to young people aged 14-25 to support them to achieve personal goals, increase their confidence and build their positive social networks.
Befriending
We match volunteer befrienders with young people aged 16-25 who are making the transition from living in supported accommodation to living independently in a private rented tenancy.
Schools workshops
We deliver structured programmes of advice and information workshops in schools for young people.
Employability workshops
We offer a range of employability courses in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Our social enterprises, FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland and Move On Wood Recycling, give young people the opportunity to gain qualifications, skills, and practical work experience.
FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland
Our FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland social enterprise saves surplus food from the food and drink industry and redistributes it to frontline charities and community groups feeding people at risk of food poverty.
Move On Wood Recycling
Our Move On Wood Recycling social enterprise collects waste wood from across Edinburgh and the Lothians and sells quality timber and upcycled furniture.
Literacy and numeracy service
Our literary and numeracy service helps people feel more confident in their reading, writing, spelling, number work, IT skills and oral communication.
