The Phoenix Trust (Milton) Ltd is in no way connected to
The Phoenix Youth Organisation based in Cambridge.
The Phoenix Trust Ltd was founded

in November 2006 and is based on an industrial estate in Milton, Cambridge, where it occupies a large site which offers good access and potential for product storage and display. The Trust was formed to provide work opportunities and work experience for people with various degrees of learning difficulties and in addition to re-employ some disadvantaged young people who had previously worked in the same environment and had been unemployable in the mainstream for some 12 months.
The Phoenix Trust (Milton) Ltd is a registered charity (Charity no.1118548) and is a Company Limited by Guarantee (Company No. 6007360). It is also an evolving social enterprise, looking to develop a sustainable mixed income stream with which to continue to deliver benefits for the local community.
Our aim is in supporting young adults and adults with disabilities to gain work and training opportunities through manufacturing and trading. The primary purpose of both production and trade is to provide training. We aim to do this by working closely with other social enterprise groups, Connexions, FE Colleges, Special need schools, Social Services and YMCA Training. There is already a wealth of experience in the delivery of training for these client groups and, as is detailed in the financial profile, it will amount to a reasonable percentage of the organisation’s income. In providing this training we aim to be able to give disadvantaged adults the chance of beginning/returning to full time employment. In addition,
The Phoenix Trust (Milton) Ltd aims to be able to give them a se
nse of achievement and a purpose to their dysfunctional life.
The opportunities arise from the production and sale of concrete products mainly a large variety of paving slabs These items are sold primarily to the general public and landscape gardeners but there will be a concerted effort to identify a larger customer base so as to widen the opportunities available for the organisation.
In addition Phoenix Trust has diverseifyed into the production of concrete garden ornamentaion and wooden garden products.
