Over the last 7 years, the company has gone through a period of massive and rapid growth. It has:
• Doubled the number of its housing property units
• Trebled the numbers of trainees on educational programs

(formerly The Painswick Inn Project) is at the heart of the historic, Cotswold town
of Stroud, and has been serving the community and individuals for over 20 years -
In recent years, we have widened our Foyer services, and helped provide other social community facilities such as the British School Hall, the Star Anise Arts Café, Smartworks, and CLIX. Our mission is:
“To enable young people in the Stroud area to discover their potential through building a community where they can live, relate, learn, work, get support and find their next step in life.
This mission is achieved by providing opportunities including housing, information and advice, artistic challenge, training, work experience for vocational discovery, further education, apprenticeships and guidance, in partnership with other organisations.
This work is informed by a holistic grasp of personal, social and spiritual growth, an approach which respects the unique path of every person.”
