The Trust’s mission is the conservation and improvement of the physical and natural environment of the Nene, celebrating its heritage and communities, supporting the resilience of the environment to climate change, conserving and restoring rivers and their tributaries, promoting health and well-being, and educating and reconnecting people with the natural landscape.

We can:

  • Teach how and where to look for jobs or voluntary work
  • Support with volunteering and job applications
  • Learn & practise interview skills especially harder questions

To continue supporting people with neurodiverse conditions we offer employers training that covers:

  • Various types of neurodiverse conditions
  • How to make job adverts accessible
  • Reasonable adjustments at interviews and in the workplace
  • Access to Work

We can provide recruitment services, including DBS checks, and have consultancy packages to support employers in their journey to become more inclusive.

Please note that there is a charge for our employers support, which is used to provide our other services.

Northamptonshire Sport

Northamptonshire Sport’s primary purpose is to take a place-based approach to reducing inequalities, partnering with local and national stakeholders to help transform lives through movement, physical activity, and sport.

Whilst fundamentally, we are an enabling organisation, supporting others to deliver active lifestyle opportunities, we also deliver ourselves.  This delivery can be through the co-ordination of others or, in certain circumstances, directly ourselves. This direct delivery benefits our enabling role by giving us first-hand insight, plugging gaps others can’t, creating new relationships, gaining trust and credibility, whilst creating physical activity opportunities for people who otherwise might not have them.
