Building the future via socially inclusive recruitment.
ONLY A PAVEMENT AWAY: Petersham Nurseries recently started their journey with Only A Pavement Away charity which opened our eyes to a problem that is visible but other not seen. Around 4700 people sleep on the streets every night. London and south east account for almost a quarter of all rough sleepers with 51% of those recorded in London reporting experience of the armed forces, care or prison. The average life expectancy of a rough sleeper is 46 years old. Between now and 2024, the hospitality industry will need to recruit around 1.3 million employees and around 300.00 of these roles will be new positions. We believe that it is our responsibility to include those that need our support into our recruitment and development strategy. We would like to invite our hospitality friends to learn about this amazing project.
A charity founded by representatives from the hospitality industry. We act as a conduit to help those people struggling to get into work overcome hurdles by finding jobs within the hospitality, pub and restaurant industry. Our initial focus was on helping the Homeless and those sleeping rough including those having to “sofa hop” we now work with ex-service personnel, ex-offenders and those with learning difficulties. Our aim is to act as a conduit to employment whilst negating the need for people to face an existence of living on the streets. We believe that everyone deserves an opportunity and a chance to forge a career. Our industry is an exciting one built on people.
