Beam is a social enterprise that crowdfunds job training for homeless people and supports them into stable work. Working in partnership with registered charities and local authorities in London, Beam is helping hundreds of homeless people to gain work in sectors facing critical skills shortages. At the same time, Beam is also providing employers with diverse talent in careers ranging from accounting to healthcare.
Beam has amassed a giving base of more than 5,000 supporters, who between them have donated over £1m. 100% of all donations go directly towards the end campaign, with each cost tracked and visible to the public. This radically transparent model allows supporters to see exactly how their money is being used to change lives. They can also leave members of encouragement when they donate, providing an extra layer of support.
