THE PHOENIX TRUST

Phoenix is a vibrant charity situated on the outskirts of Cambridge. Although we are small, we pride ourselves on making a big difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities or complex needs, through the provision of a meaningful experience of work and the development of employability and social skills. We are both a charity and a social enterprise, making a wide variety of products on site to sell to the public. Phoenix co-workers have the opportunity to work in three departments: Factory - producing handmade concrete paving slabs and garden ornaments. Woodshed - making a variety of items such as picnic tables, garden benches, arbors, mud kitchens, bird boxes and planters as well as bespoke items made to order from pallet wood and other recycled materials. Kitchen - providing a daily two-course lunch for our team plus making cakes to sell via our website. Our mission is to work towards a society where the contribution of everyone is respected and valued and our supported placements greatly improve the confidence, quality of life and self-fulfilment of our co-workers, whilst showing the general public and wider community what can be achieved within an inclusive culture and empowering environment.
