OUR IMPACT

APP UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Platfform the charity for mental health and social change. We live our values and make a tangible contribution to positive social impact.

We work in geographically diverse areas and some of those communities have been affected by disconnect, adversity or challenging levels of poverty.  We offer people who join our team stability and support, focussing on creating a safe environment to help them succeed.  Below are stories of some of their journeys.
Our managers and supervisors (and our MD!) walk the walk, visit our site teams, and roll up their sleeves too.
We prioritise developing longer term client relationships over short term gains and bonus targets. We tailor our offering to the client and their needs, whilst giving our team opportunities to develop and progress.
When you hire APP UK for your services you are part of the impact we achieve, walking alongside people, one person at a time. So, you can be as proud of that as we are.

Our Ethics & Social Values

Although driven by commercial principles our ultimate objective is to make a social impact through our efforts and successes.  Our profits support people through their mental health recovery, wellbeing, independence and empowerment journeys.

 Our mission is to:

  • Make a positive impact though our activity, culture and behaviours

  • Create jobs in areas of high economic and social deprivation

  • Create employment and training opportunities for those who are distant from the labour market

 

  • To treat our employees in a compassionate, honest and respectful way 

Sam was previously in a difficult situation within a relationship that was dominated by domestic violence. When they exited this relationship, they did so with no money and no job.

Anxiety and depression found Sam, but during this time, Sam found Platfform. With support, there has been progression to the point where Sam now volunteers with Platfform and also works with APP UK.

The role with APP provides flexibility, freedom to shape their own routine and schedule, but also a point of focus for Sam.

APP UK has provided a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for Sam.

Sam's Story

Alex has experienced a significant amount of trauma and loss, including being the primary carer to loved ones. During this difficult time, Alex suffered a drop in self confidence and began to withdraw socially.

After contacting Platfform, and receiving support from the team, Alex was encouraged to look for a role with APP UK. After taking the plunge and gaining a role at APP UK, Alex has found a safe, flexible, and supportive environment where they can rebuild their confidence.

As a consequence, Alex is now working more hours, and has the stability in a work environment they craved.
