At the Mason Foundation, we believe everyone deserves the chance to live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. We work hand-in-hand with communities across the UK, creating opportunities for people to support one another, take part, and thrive, especially those who need it most.
Propel
Too many young people with learning disabilities are overlooked when it comes to work – only 5.1% are in paid employment. Meanwhile, businesses need eager, talented workers. Propel bridges that gap.
Developed in partnership with The Oaks Specialist College, Propel helps young people gain skills, confidence, and meaningful work opportunities. For businesses, it’s a chance to become more inclusive and benefit from incredible talent. For education settings, it’s a way to guide SEND students smoothly into adult life.

The Community Mile
Exercise shouldn’t feel intimidating. The Community Mile helps people take that first step, literally. No fancy gear, no pressure, just a safe, welcoming space to get active. A Community Mile doesn’t mean just walking or running. It could be chair yoga, dancing or even a gardening session – it’s about getting moving in a way that works for you.
Each Mile is led by local Champions we train and support to bring the programme to life in their communities. Many Champions are neurodivergent or have learning difficulties themselves, gaining confidence, leadership, and valuable employability skills along the way.
