Only A Pavement Away

Only A Pavement Away is the national charity that supports people looking to rebuild their lives through employment opportunities in hospitality. The charity acts as a vital bridge between forward thinking employers in the hospitality industry and referral partners working with individuals facing homelessness, and prison leavers, to help them rebuild their lives through long term, stable employment.

Only A Pavement Away helps individuals get from where they are to where they want to be through employment opportunities, financial support and tailored learning & development.

To date, the charity has placed over 850 people into employment, and we have had over 7,500 engagements with our Employment Support and Learning & Development sessions, adding an approximate value of £34M to the economy through reduced government support, financial independence, and household expenditure.

We have an ambitious vision to support 1,500 members into employment and achieve at least 15,000 engagements with our Learning & Development programmes by 2030.
