02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
At Apex Scotland we believe in second chances. We treat people with dignity, respect recognising and appreciating each of their individual circumstances, needs, concerns, fears, aspirations and dreams. We exist to help those with a conviction or who are at risk of offending, build a future beyond their past. We do this by reducing the poverty often faced, especially by children, supporting participants to access training and employment, and most importantly, using a person-centred and trauma-responsive approach for every participant. We help with accessing support services such as housing, addiction and financial assistance while also providing the tools, skills and experience to support someone to move on to their positive destination, particularly employment.
