About this cause

Camtrust provides programmes in employability and independent living skills to help clients with physical and learning disabilities as well as mental health issues make the most of their potential. We aim to help them gain either paid or voluntary employment and ultimately to be active members of society. We support individuals to live independently by developing their skills in food hygiene, preparing healthy meals and managing a budget. We provide a bespoke course for those wanting to use public transport. With regard to work preparation, we provide IT training as well as bike refurbishment. Our monthly pop-up sales provide retail and customer service experience. We aim to help our clients increase their self confidence and self esteem through social interaction and communication.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our PCs work on a good day but are slow and prone to freezing and crashing. They are used almost continuously by staff and our clients, many of whom have manual dexterity problems and for whom writing is both an exhausting and laborious process. Access to IT allows them to produce clear, eligible work in which they take pride. Reliable IT is essential to the workings of our organisation.
