We provide an interlinking array of tools and resources built on experience and feedback — connecting people, communities and businesses to create equitable, lasting partnerships.
We do this in partnership. It makes connections.
Bringing together people, communities, investors, and public, private and third sector organisations to create equitable working partnerships. Lived — Learned — Practiced. Our programmes are built from the ground up, shaped by the communities and individuals we serve, and delivered in genuine collaboration with partners who share our commitment to lasting change.
01
We believe that we are at our best when we work with people in partnership, taking time and making space to create fair and lasting results. We meet extraordinary people all the time — and we know that the right kind of help unleashes amazing talents and commitment.
For individuals who want stability, skills and a real way back into work: skills training, employability coaching, one-to-one talent mentoring, confidence building, CV support, interview preparation, and long-term follow-up.
02
Everything that we do starts and ends with the communities we serve. We believe that creating safe spaces in which communities can come together to share their views, opinions and ideas pays dividends — for individuals, for families and for the broader social fabric of the places we call home.
For communities that want more than consultation: local project delivery, inclusive engagement with diverse groups, community-led initiatives, strategic social value partnerships with major organisations.
03
We have the resources in place to support and guide entrepreneurs through all key stages: idea, setup, start-up, and ways to grow. We work with established businesses to help them rebalance strategies so that they find and recruit the skills and talent they need, and strengthen local community ties.
For founders and employers building something that lasts: startup support and business planning, employer strategy, inclusive recruitment, social value partnership work, and access to our Hive Oldham enterprise hub.
The Ambition for Ageing Project in Salford engaged with carers over 50 to understand the challenges and barriers this group face and help them to fulfil their potential — whether returning to work, accessing education and training, creating social connections, reducing social isolation or increasing community cohesion.
Focused on young people facing significant barriers to employment. These beneficiaries live in areas of multiple deprivation, lack self-esteem and confidence, have few qualifications and poor understanding of the world of work. Hard to reach, they lack confidence in mainstream organisations and do not seek out learning and employment opportunities. Upturn designed a bespoke outreach approach to engage, support and equip this group.
