About Moving On Tyne & Wear (MOTW)

We support people in Tyne and Wear who are aged 18+ and out of work due to physical and/or mental health issues. We also help our participants address other barriers, such as long-term unemployment, debt, low skills, or housing issues, through one-to-one support.

Our support includes:

• one-to-one support
• advice on health and wellbeing & sign-posting to relevant local services
• access to training, including funding support
• volunteering, work placements and trials
• support with job searching, application forms, CV writing, and job interview skills

• self-employment advice
