Aspire is a not-for-profit company employing, supporting and training homeless people. We do this through a fair trade catalogue, which we employ homeless people to deliver and collect. By selling goods through this catalogue we generate income to pay our homeless employees and also support our local and third world suppliers. Our employees receive a stable weekly wage, as well as support to help deal with the transition into full time work, and training to help them move on.

Aspire originally started in Bristol in 1999. It is now running in nine cities - Bristol, Cambridge, Sheffield, East London, Blackpool, Brighton, Manchester, Oxford and Southampton - and has employed 100 homeless people across the country over the last two and a half years
