Volunteering

Our subsidiaries, LinkLiving and Horizon, offer volunteering opportunities that give participants the chance to learn or refresh skills while building confidence and self-esteem through helping others.

We offer modern apprenticeships in business administration, housing, construction, social care and within our trades team, C~urb Property Maintenance.

We also ask the contractors we employ to provide work placement opportunities to young people to help them gain experience in the construction industry.
