In 2004 Upturn was established as a Social Enterprise limited by guarantee. Since then we have remained steadfast to our mission to improve the lives and the health and wellbeing of people from diverse groups and disadvantaged communities, helping them overcome barriers to social mobility. We never cease to be amazed, humbled and energised by the talent, tenacity, patience, and generosity of people who, given the chance, want to make a difference, to make things better. Upturn works in partnership with people from our communities, statutory and voluntary service providers, and private sector businesses to do just that. We are pleased to share our achievements and demonstrate, through good policy and practice, testimony and endorsement, the regenerative power and ingenuity of Social Enterprises. An approach that works. For a business seeking to grow and recruit staff. A service provider keen to extend its reach and impact on those it seeks to help. Upturn has been a willing and effective partner, always open to new ideas. More than ever we need to create effective ways to reach and engage with people to help them make sense of their circumstances and identify sound pathways to employment and enterprise, improved health & wellbeing.

"Today’s Budget marked a decisive shift to higher levels of public investment. After more than a decade of austerity, this is a welcome development. This is particularly on capital spend – but social spending investment is also crucial. So, the question now is how this additional spending can deliver a fairer, more sustainable, and inclusive economy." Read our full response to the Autumn Budget 2024: #Budget2024

WE’LL SPEAK UP FOR CARE LEAVERS - We have just begun National Care Leavers Week, which aims to celebrate those young people leaving care and becoming independent adults. This transition can be particularly difficult and isn’t helped by the stigma some people wrongly attach to growing up in care. That’s why we have to be an encouragement and voice for this courageous cohort. That is something that we do every single day at Upturn as we work to find work for young people and enable them to fulfil their often-fantastic potential. Stand behind #CareLeaversWeek by getting in touch with us and perhaps offering a work placement opportunity to make that journey into employment easier. Contact info@upturn.org.uk

WAS HOPE JUST RELISHING ANOTHER BURGER? – Did you spot our campervan in a #McDonalds car park recently? If so, please note that “Hope” on Wheels was there to support #ChildreninNeed and not to order a McDonalds Happy Meal! Actually, Hope has been involved in a (Mc) flurry of activity to bolster the #BBC’s flagship campaign and salute our partnership with the #fastfood giant, which has helped young people reach their potential in #Rochdale and #Oldham. Hope can be used by social enterprises and good causes to reach the most disadvantaged in our communities and offer them practical support and emotional encouragement.

TODAY YOULEARNT OUR HIVE’S FIRST OCCUPANT – The premier regular incumbent at our new Hive base, helps those with a thirst for knowledge. YouLearnt is the #educational equivalent of Trip Advisor in that it finds #teachers and allows the people to decide how highly they rate them! It is the brainchild of Yaser Salem who jokes, “If someone wants to learn #Science in #Spanish, we’ll find them a tutor!” For Upturn, this is exactly the kind of #enterprise they want at their Spindles Shopping Centre hub – someone who puts #community care on a par with establishing a booming #business. You can read Yaser’s full story – from #Cairo to the heart of Greater #Manchester by visiting https://lnkd.in/ejjfFBrK Need a tutor? Go to https://lnkd.in/e7Ec7TWG
