What is Teamwork Trust? Expand Teamwork Trust, which has centres in Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough, is a charity committed to ensuring everyone gets access to the same chances, choices and opportunities - whatever their individual needs or abilities. The charity’s members – adults with mental health needs, learning and physical disabilities – choose from a programme of enabling and education projects, activities and counselling programmes. At the heart of the enabling programme is a factory floor at each of the three centres, where members get vocational experience – assembling, packing, sticking, stuffing and labelling. Teamwork Trust also offers a wellbeing and counselling programme to the wider community.
Is the work on the factory floor paid? Expand Members get a nominal amount to cover their expenses and this gives each member a sense of self-worth and achievement. Find out more about our enabling programme and the valuable vocational experience and skills it gives our members - click HERE.
How can the person I care for join Teamwork Trust Expand Many of our members are referred by their GP, key worker, social worker, community nurse, employment services or some other caring organisation. We are happy to accept referrals from carers, or perhaps the person you care for would like to refer themselves? Simply click on our referral form HERE.
