Grace Enterprises aims to grow a network of sustainable, commercially competitive and socially responsible businesses that help reduce long-term unemployment and poverty in Nottingham.

Our goal is to create jobs that offer opportunities to those who traditionally struggle to find work, for example those who have suffered with addiction, have worked in the sex industry, experienced homelessness or prison.

Our first business is a Social Enterprise cleaning company called Radiant Cleaners. It has won national recognition for the work it is doing.
