About the project
We have moved to new offices at Unit 9 Kingside Business Park, Ruston Road, Woolwich, London SE18 5BX. Our phone number remains the same: 020 8855 7386.
As you can see from the photos above, the builders have been in knocking down walls and building new ones. Now FST own decorators are hard at work transforming the space into a fantastic new set of offices with a brand new training and conference facility attached
FST Main Office is the organisation’s administrative centre providing financial, administrative, business development, communications and marketing and HR support to our 14 projects across the country. The centre also gives people with mental health problems and other disadvantages the chance to develop their skills and take on the responsibilities of working life. We provide work placements and training in business admin, finance, office skills, marketing and promotion and basic IT.
We support workforce members by organising follow on external placements, helping with applications, CVs and interview techniques and providing a work reference.

What I got out of FST Main Office
“I hadn’t touched a computer before I came here but because you learn on the job, and not just an hour a week on a training course, you learn quicker. FST gave me the confidence. The beauty of FST is that you are doing real work so you feel like you are needed and that’s a big part of it for me. They treat you like an adult.” June
