- Participants are referred into our service by their Shaw Trust Support Manager.
- Our team make contact with the participant to welcome them to our support service and agree on the next steps.
- We send all relevant information by email and text message to the participant so they have everything they need for the support to start.
- By the end of the support service, the participant will have received one or more personalised Action Plans and many resources to progress towards their goal.
- If a participant would like funding to start their activity, we can support in making their application ‘loan ready’, as we work closely with official Delivery Partners of the government Start-Up Loans Scheme.
