Right2Work (R2W) is a growing and thriving organisation that carries out an increasingly diverse range of activities from a well organised and bustling centre. We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) and are part of the Oaklea Trust (Oaklea Group) – as such it is in a fantastic position to further expand and develop.
Our long term strategy is built around 3 key elements:
- Community
- Learning
- Wellbeing
Our working behaviours
Reflecting on the previous year (2022-23) – Former Chair, Jane Sullivan
“What another incredible year for the R2W team and the people they support. The achievements made this year and the impact these have had on so many people’s lives are a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved with R2W, whether as employees, volunteers, learners or their families.
When I think of the work that R2W does I am always brought back it its vision. ‘We deliver the finest opportunities in the kindest possible way’ and I think this year R2W have shown they have fully embraced this vision. With their continual drive to create new and exciting facilities and programmes for all of their communities they have provided even more opportunities for people to improve their life chances.
Whenever we visit R2W, as Directors, we are always welcomed by the people who work and learn there. We get a real sense of family and belonging and this is something that cannot be quantified in written reports and financial figures. This is only made possible by the special people who make R2W a success- not only those who work directly with our communities, but also those that work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure R2W can continue to work legally, safely and is financially secure for future years.
On behalf of all the Directors of R2W, we thank you all and wish you all the best for the year to come.”
Note – At the R2W Board Meeting November 2023 – Jane stepped down after several years in the role and Stephen Welch was nominated & confirmed as the new Chair.
