At Open 360 we are a grass-roots ‘learning’ organisation that does not drive the agenda but develops all group-activities through continual collaboration with former/prospective participants. Our mission has been to co-design and deliver simple, effective and accessible community engagement and well-being projects to improve the lives and opportunities of vulnerable, marginalised and isolated people of all ages, backgrounds and needs within the most deprived neighbourhoods of Widnes and Runcorn. Since 2012 we have been managing, delivering and evaluating community-based people-development projects.

We focus on ‘connecting people through digital’ with flexible projects with specific content aimed at addressing the growing problem of digital inequality/data. These form of a series of basic self-contained activities forming a flexible ‘wrap-around’ package designed to meet the widest possible individual circumstances, needs and learning abilities, with effective holistic, person-centred delivery-model where each individual matters.

Open 360 is a contemporary organisation, we run a policy of supplying equal opportunities in all aspects of work including recruitment, induction, health and safety, training, and progression, whatever the colour, race, religion, belief, ethnic or national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age or disability of a member of staff.
