Hi, we’re Renewed Horizons
Renewed Horizons is a service that seeks to empower and assist economically inactive people from marginalized and underserved backgrounds to achieve employment and independence. We seek to combine the dynamic approach of a recruitment consultant with the care and attention of a social enterprise.
We aim to take a holistic and trauma informed approach to our service users status by acknowledging the damage that long term unemployment can cause to a persons self-esteem and mental health. We understand that extended periods of perceived rejection can negatively affect people so rebuilding confidence would be a vital part of our service. We will do this by taking our time and bringing the community together with guest speakers, training sessions with local companies and eventually having our previous success comeback to act as mentors and sponsors.
Our service makes a real tangible impact on someone’s journey. From unemployment to employment, we work 1-1 with jobseekers to address the hurdles they have faced then take a direct approach to get them into interviews, trials and work.

Pilot – Re-Empowerment session
This would consist of 10–15-minute sit down 1-1 with a diverse group across the community. The aim
is to listen to their experiences, find out why they think they are struggling, what hurdles they have
faced and followed by a brief CV review. I would then offer to make and e-mail a short action plan to
them and their work coach/support worker. This being an alternative to the traditional 1 hour job
club format and allows for a more tailored, assertive service.
I would like these short meetings to aid in dispelling any negative self-image they may have
developed whilst unemployed or in crisis and to re-inspire aspiration in people who may have lost it. I
would reinvigorate their job search by providing a sensible evaluation and making them feel like they
are not "failing" and that with a focused plan of action they could find job opportunities in the local
area.
This will hopefully have a boost on their mental health and give them belief in the service Renewed
Horizons provides. Additionally, the hope is that this Pilot will allow me to show how effective this
service is for potential joint projects in the future.
In effect this is a taster for potential service user’s as well as our potential partners.
Pilot Scheme
In partnership with Inclusive North, we deliver the Minority Employment Support and Advocacy Project, supporting individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds who face multiple barriers to employment — including homelessness, long term unemployment, and Justice involved persons. Our approach is person-centred and advocacy-led, combining employability support with practical help around housing, access to services, and navigating complex systems. We work closely with local partners to create joined-up pathways into stability, training, and sustainable work.
Our Chorley project provides tailored employment support to refugees and asylum seekers, helping them overcome language barriers, build confidence, and move towards meaningful work. Delivered in partnership with Chorley Council and the local Jobcentre, the programme offers one-to-one guidance, employer engagement, and accessible drop-in sessions. To date, we’ve supported over 20 participants, with successful outcomes including entry into work, volunteering and vocational training. Our strong local presence and trusted community networks have been key to its success.

Preston City Council Asylum Seeker Employment Support and Advocacy
Asylum Seeker Support and Advocacy
Providing Employment and employability support requires a 1-1 services that treats individuals as people, not numbers or headlines. We understand that asylum seekers are often viewed through the lens of their circumstances—statistics or political debates. But we believe that behind every asylum seeker is a person with aspirations, skills, and a deep desire to contribute to the community that has offered them refuge. We focus on humanizing the process through a trauma informed approach, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their past, is seen, heard, and respected.
Renewed Horizons has transformed my journey in Preston. Their dedicated team provided invaluable guidance and support as I sought employment. I felt understood and respected throughout the process. With their help, I gained confidence and found meaningful work. I am truly grateful for their commitment to helping people like me.
