CleanStart

CleanStart transforms communities, addressing major social and economic challenges for a better future.

Who we are and what we do

CleanStart is a social enterprise that provides a range of services in our Trafford and North West neighbourhoods and homes, including grounds maintenance, caretaking, domestic cleaning and property services.

Our aim is to create sustainable neighbourhoods for the long term by addressing the wider social and economic issues that contribute to the local community.

As part of this service, we employ, train, and nurture local people - some of whom may find it difficult to secure employment elsewhere.

Who we support and how we can help

The CleanStart Employment Programme offers 12-18 month employment contracts to ex-offenders, ex-military personnel, care leavers, long-term unemployed and other individuals who have support needs that other employers may not understand.

The goal is to support individuals in gaining employment, maintaining employment and moving into further employment.

To facilitate this, we offer wrap-around support with the aim to help remove potential barriers to future employment and improve the wellbeing of individuals.
