  • Who we are

Who we are

Who we are

Aspire is a multi-award-winning employment charity and social enterprise.

We empower people facing homelessness, poverty and disadvantage to find employment and housing. In 2020-21, we engaged with over 2,000 people across our projects and programmes throughout Oxfordshire and the wider Thames Valley.

About Aspire

Established in 2001, Aspire has now been tackling the most complex social issues in Oxfordshire for 20 years. We support local people into and towards employment and housing, as the most powerful way to break the complex cycles of homelessness, re-offending and poverty.

The future

Aspire has achieved over 300% growth since 2012/13. We are proud to work in partnership with 31 organisations across Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley to reach those most in need of our specialist support. Our enterprise businesses now have eight teams working across Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties.

We are doing more than ever before to tackle the growing homelessness and housing crisis that our community is facing, with new projects and programmes including supported housing in central Oxford, Witney, and expansion of the Housing First model. At a time of uncertainty and a challenging external climate, this growth is testament to the drive and resilience of the Aspire team.

We are working to change lives. Will you join us?
