Our Story
It started outside a Sainsbury's. A chance encounter between two strangers that would become the foundation for something remarkable.
Today, David isn't just our Community Champion - he's co-founder of the very company that exists because someone believed his story had a flipside. From homelessness to hope, from surviving to leading, his journey proves that transformation isn't just possible - it's powerful.
Our Vision
From surviving to thriving – transforming lives by breaking down barriers, giving purpose, and igniting hope.
Our Mission
We help people facing life's hardest challenges - homelessness, addiction, and long-term unemployment - to find their way back to purpose, dignity, and sustainable employment.
We walk alongside people step by step, because lasting change takes time. The first step is to stabilise - helping people feel safe and secure. Then we build skills and confidence through training, coaching, and real work experience. Finally, we connect people with employers who believe in giving fair chances and fresh starts.
Because with the right support, every story can be rewritten.
Our Values
Trust
Trust is the foundation of everything we do. People need to feel safe, respected, and believed in before they can move forward.
Belief
We believe in the potential of every person we meet and we're committed to helping them believe in themselves. Even when life has been tough, we see the person, not the problem.
Accountability
We take responsibility for our actions and the difference we make. We deliver on our promises and demonstrate outcomes with transparency.
Growth
Growth is at the heart of change. We help people build confidence, skills, and hope for the future whilst investing in sustainable, life-changing progress.
Humanity
We treat everyone with compassion, empathy, and respect. We see your worth, not your circumstance.

Why Choose flipside?
Support From People Who Understand
We're different because our support is designed and delivered by people who've actually lived the transformation journey, backed by proven business success.
Our Community Champions aren't just trained professionals - they're individuals who've faced homelessness, addiction, unemployment, and other barriers, then successfully rebuilt their careers. Combined with Jo's track record of employment transformation at C2C Group, this creates support that's both authentically empathetic and strategically effective.
