A national charity that supports people facing or at risk of homelessness, prison leavers and other barriers to employment has supported 807 people into work over the past year, contributing £32m to the UK economy.
In addition, Only A Pavement Away received 5,487 candidate engagements through its employment support and learning and development sessions.
The admirable numbers have been released as part of the charity's 2025–2026 Impact Report, revealing the powerful difference the hospitality industry and the charity continue to make in rebuilding lives.
“Never did my wife Gill and I imagine that an idea sparked while walking along the Strand in September 2017 would grow into what Only A Pavement Away is today," says Greg Mangham, founder and voluntary CEO of Only A Pavement Away. "Over the past eight years, we have been privileged to work alongside an incredible team and to receive such strong support from the hospitality sector. We are immensely proud of what has been achieved and excited about what the future holds."
The report showcases the charity’s achievements to date and throughout 2025, combining key statistics with first-hand testimonials from members who have successfully gained employment.
Among them is Shabnam, a recipient of the Deborah Moses Bursary, who shares how the support she received from Only A Pavement Away helped her rebuild her life following release from prison.
