Recycling Lives.. Fears for young homeless people

With the global credit crunch affecting unemployment rates throughout the UK fears that young, homeless people who are unable to find work will become increasingly marginalised as a result of this economic downturn are being realised on a daily basis.

Recycling lives welcomes the government’s recognition of this looming problem, which affects all areas of society .In particular, the plight of many young people who have faced, or are still facing chaotic or unstable lives due to having no home, no income and no constructive support.

Recycling lives centres are keen to provide a joined up pathway, to support homeless people throughout the country and to help them to reach achievable goals of full time employment and independent living. Our centres are fully equipped with high quality accommodation, counselling facilities, food, clothing, adult learning and full or part time employment opportunities, with either our foundation recycling company, or one of our corporate partners.

Recycling lives is absolutely committed to helping all homeless people regardless of race, faith, gender, age, sexual orientation or disability, to successfully use the comprehensive support package available at every Recycling lives centre.

Recycling Lives offers good Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recycling Lives operates nationally to provide a wide range of recycling activities to Local Authorities, commercial organisations and the public. Recycling Lives provides housing, training and long term employment in the recycling sector, to people who would otherwise be homeless; including ex-armed forces personnel, probation and those from chaotic backgrounds.

Each Recycling Lives centre provides up to 48 quality en-suite rooms; training and office facilities; incubator units for entrepreneurs in social enterprise; industrial space for our recycling processes and retail space to sell good manufactured by Recycling Lives from recycled waste.

We do not ask for, or rely on 'gifts' from you, as we always pay fair prices for scrap metal recycling, plastic and other recyclables. By selling your waste to Recycling Lives your organisation helps us to be sustainable and you to show good corporate social responsibility.

Our social enterprise 'manages' good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on your behalf, by ensuring that our recycling activities are carried out by employees that would otherwise be marginalised or even forgotten by society.
