Conference sponsor

We are delighted to announce our Annual Conference sponsor: Moxie

Moxie is one of the leading recruitment agencies in Wales, specialising in housing and the third sector. As well as being a people-focused recruitment agency, it also does fantastic work for social good with the Moxie Foundation and its Working Wardrobe project.

  • The Moxie Foundation: The Moxie Foundation focuses on the relief of barriers to gaining employment. We deliver grants throughout the year to fund anything from a new pair of shoes to the technology required to interview remotely. Because we know that these are the things that can stop people from even applying for a job. And we want to provide a solution to that.
  • Working Wardrobe: The Working Wardrobe project donates interview clothing to people looking for work in our communities across South Wales. This project gives people the confidence and self-belief to take that all-important first step towards a new, meaningful career. It runs in partnership with Cymorth members Newydd Housing, CCHA and Monmouthshire Housing Association.
