Prosperity Recycling Ltd is a not –for--profit social enterprise which started out as an idea developed by the Clayton-le-Moors & Altham PROSPECTS Panel. The aim was to create a company which produces a variety of recycled goods, whilst also providing training & employment opportunities to people with disabilities.

The company was launched in 2003 as a joint venture between The PROSPECTS Foundation and Trinity Community Partnership – a charity specialising in employment and training services for learning and physically disabled people and those who have suffered from some form of mental illness.

The company’s premises in Accrington, houses three workshops, each handling a different waste material;

Plastics
Wood
Cardboard & shredded product

Trainees are currently referred from Social Services, Bootstrap and local secondary schools to attend Prosperity in order to complete work experience placements which may result in qualifications under the AQA unit scheme award or employment.

The initial set up of Prosperity Recycling was funded by the European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, PACT, Lancashire Environmental Fund, North West Development Agency and Hyndburn Borough Council.
However Prosperity is now a self financing business.
