ONLY A PAVEMENT AWAY is an important charity that provides support to individuals in vulnerable positions, by helping them find job opportunities within the hospitality industry. Since 2018, they have not only supported but changed the lives of 77 members and plan on expanding this to 700 members across the next 3 years.   

To take part in this scheme, candidates must be either facing homelessness, be an ex-offender, or have served in the military. People in these positions are often struggling to find work, leaving them in hard situations that contributes to need and existence of living on the streets.  

The process involves 4 easy steps:

• The charity will register candidates onto an OAPA Jobs Board.
• The charity responds to the employers on behalf of the candidates.
• The candidate will then take part in an interview.
• Once employed, the charity and OAPA provides a 12-month support network.  

Well-known brands such as Bills, Brewdog, Greene King, Honest Burgers and many more have partnered up with Only A Pavement Away to help provide employment opportunities to those who need it the most.
