Move On’s mission is to support vulnerable people to achieve personal goals and make positive lasting change in their lives. We offer a range of services, which meet the needs of our service users and volunteers, which are flexible and innovative, responding to changing needs and circumstances. Our mentoring, befriending and various employability services offer the key relationships and opportunities, which enable people to set goals, recognise and develop their skills, build confidence, grow their social networks and gain the qualifications and work experience they need to reach their potential and achieve a brighter future.

Move On’s services are delivered in a manner which is trauma informed/skilled, person-centred and asset-based. We are committed to supporting people where they need it, when they need it and for as long as they need it.

We have offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres, and two social enterprises linked with our employability and environmental remits: FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland in Whiteinch, Glasgow and Move On Wood Recycling in Granton, North Edinburgh.

MOWR:

MOWR is a successful social enterprise established by charity Move On in early 2018, with joint environmental and social aims:

• to re-use waste timber, contributing to the circular economy and helping the environment through reducing the amount of timber sent to land fill or for chipping
• deliver employability skills, training, valuable jobs and volunteering opportunities for vulnerable people.

MOWR collects waste timber from the construction and events industries, as well as domestic settings. We re-use as much of this timber as possible, either selling on direct to the public, or through upcycling into furniture and other products. Our range of products, made by volunteers and staff in our workshop, many of which are made to order, is available from our on-line shop, as well as the MOWR shop. In the process of our day to day work, we offer volunteering and training opportunities.

MOWR is a member of the UK-wide National Community Wood Recycling Project Network.
