About Rippleacts
Rippleacts is a Norwich-based social enterprise working with long-term unemployed people who wish to make a positive change to their lives. Following an evidence-based approach, we help our participants to overcome deeply ingrained personal barriers, and get back to work step by step.
We do this with a combination of cognitive-behavioural coaching, project work, accompanied work experience and peer-mentoring. As part of this journey, we support local charities with small hands-on projects, helping our clients unlock their skills for the benefit of their local community. In doing so, we create a chain of positive ripple effects.
The organiser has marked this opportunity as filled. Applications are closed. You can find other volunteering opportunities here.
