Welcome

What we do

 
 

Welcome to our website where you can find out about our services and how to access them or support us.

Apex Trust is a local (St Helens, Merseyside) charity which offers Advice and Guidance to people whose actions or behaviours have led to negative consequences for themselves and/or others. We enable them to make positive choices and achieve personal goals. Our vision is of a place where all individuals have an opportunity to turn their lives around to improve society and strengthen communities.

OUR CURRENT DELIVERY AND SUPPORT IS FOR THOSE WHO RESIDE IN ST HELENS, MERSEYSIDE.

There is no other service which supports ex/offenders in the community as we do.

Our work is focused on meeting the needs of those with convictions and at risk of re-offending in the St. Helens area
