Heworth Associates support a variety of community and voluntary activities. 

We offer pro bono coaching to volunteers working in selected charities.

We have designed and run community coaching projects to match coaches with volunteer clients.  During the coronavirus crisis we donated our skills to support NHS staff.  We participated in Teach First coaching programme, and we currently help Cancer Support UK run post cancer treatment coaching  groups.

We also support the Shaw Trust:

Shaw Trust is a national charity that helps people facing disadvantage to find work, gain skills and take control of their futures. The Trust provides back-to-work programmes, training and opportunities across the UK, working at the heart of communities to help thousands of people find the right job. It helps people gain skills and get into work through a range of activities including education, retail and work experience as well as health and social enterprise projects. Many of the people we support have barriers to employment, including lack of recent work experience or training, disabilities and health issues. Our volunteer programme adds value to their journey towards work by bringing people with skills and knowledge into our centres to share their expertise.

Shaw Trust career development coaches will usually see a jobseeker for around six to eight coaching sessions to help them progress towards work or sustain a new job. This will include helping set goals and build their confidence.  We recruit qualified coaches, or people working towards a qualification.

Heworth Associates supports the Shaw Trust to recruit volunteer coaches, especially for centres in the North of England, including York, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Liverpool etc.
