NOW Group (NI)

NOW Group is a Northern Ireland-wide social enterprise that supports people with barriers to employment and learning who are often furthest removed from the labour market. Since its set up in 2001, NOW has developed a range of programmes to help the people it supports to realise their full potential and change their lives for the better, focusing on the areas of training, employment, transition, volunteering, financial capability and youth. Our services ensure that our clients have the support they need to make informed decisions about their post-school future, have access to quality, accredited training which helps them prepare for independence and the world of work, as well as providing clients with the support they need to access the job they want, and keep it. We are also NI delivery partners of Lloyds Banking Group’s award-winning personal money management programme Money For Life, which aims to improve the knowledge, confidence and skills of UK communities to help people to manage their money better. NOW also operates two successful social enterprise businesses called Loaf and Gauge, the profits from which go back into NOW’s work in supporting people with all levels of learning abilities.
