Moving Forward

At The VA Centre, we believe that every person deserves the chance to build a brighter future. Our Moving Forward service is designed to help vulnerable individuals—ex-offenders, the homeless, people with mental health struggles, and those with learning difficulties—take meaningful steps towards independence, employment, and long-term stability.

🌟 What Is Moving Forward?

Moving Forward is about more than just support—it’s about empowerment. We work closely with our clients to develop personalised “moving-on plans” that guide them into the next stage of their lives.

Our focus is on helping each individual:

Gain the skills and confidence needed for independent living.

Access training, education, and employment opportunities.

Build a positive support network through volunteering and community engagement.

Personalised support plans tailored to each individual’s goals and abilities.

Access to work-related training and apprenticeships.

Guidance into volunteering roles that build skills and confidence.

Step-by-step support towards securing employment.

Assistance with housing transitions for long-term stability.

🤝 Building Independence

Through Moving Forward, clients learn how to:

Take responsibility for their daily routines.
